Be Truck Aware – Blind Spots: Cyclists

Trucks have larger blind spots than the average car which means truck drivers may not be able to see you. We all need to look out for each other, so take care and be truck aware.

If you are cycling, follow these helpful tips to keep you safe around trucks:
*Trucks have blind spots and may not see you. Take extra care.
*Make eye contact with truck drivers, especially at intersections, so you know they have seen you.
*Don’t overtake a truck when it is turning. Trucks need extra space when turning and may take up more than one lane.
*Do not pass on the inside of a truck about to turn. Allow the truck to pass and then safely continue your journey.
*Always follow the road rules and ride with care.
