You can be inches from a heavy vehicle and still be completely invisible to the driver. đź‘€đź§
Large trucks and buses sit high off the ground and rely on mirrors with limited angles, creating massive blind zones directly in front, behind, and along both sides of the vehicle.
In this demonstration, motorcycles are placed all around the truck, many of them close enough to touch it, yet the driver can’t see them at all. The front blind spot alone can hide an entire car, while side blind spots stretch several lanes wide due to the vehicle’s height and mirror geometry.
That’s why staying close to heavy vehicles is dangerous. If you can’t clearly see the driver’s face in their mirror, there’s a high chance they can’t see you either. Distance isn’t just safer, it’s visibility. 🚦⚙️
