Truck “no zones” are the blind spots surrounding an 18-wheeler or commercial truck which other cars should avoid due to the increased risk of an 18-wheeler accident.
Answer:
The first no zone is located directly behind the tractor-trailer; an area where a truck driver cannot see you and where you are at risk of slamming into the back of the truck if it stops suddenly.
The second no zone is located directly in front of an 18-wheeler. Since trucks cannot stop suddenly due to their size and weight, they must maintain a considerable following distance in order to avoid rear-end accidents.
The final two no zones extend backward and diagonally from the left and right sides of the cab.
