Sharing the Road Safely

Large trucks have large blind spots, sometimes called 'No-Zones.' The safest practice is to:

  • a.Linger beside the trailer
  • b.Avoid driving in the areas directly behind and beside a truck where the driver cannot see you
  • c.Tailgate to draft the truck
  • d.Pass on the right in the truck's blind spot

Trucks have big blind spots to the sides and directly behind. If you cannot see the driver's mirrors, they cannot see you, so avoid lingering there. (Kentucky Driver Manual, sharing the road with trucks)

At night on a two-lane road, you must dim your high-beam headlights when an oncoming vehicle is within:

  • a.500 feet
  • b.100 feet
  • c.200 feet

Switch from high to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is within about 500 feet to avoid blinding the other driver; also dim within 200 feet when following another vehicle. (Kentucky Driver Manual, night driving)
