It is not always your legal responsibility to avoid a truck crash that occurs in a trucker's blind spot. In fact, it is not always possible for you to avoid such an accident. However, it is always in your best interest to try to avoid a Marietta truck accident and the injuries that may result.

Three Ways to Avoid Blind Spot Truck Crashes

You may be able to avoid a Marietta tractor trailer wreck in a truck driver's blind spot, or no zone, by:

1. Making Sure You Can See the Driver's Face in His Side Mirrors. If you cannot see the trucker's face, then the trucker probably can't see you.
2. Keeping a Safe Distance from All Trucks. Do not drive close to a truck. Allow a suitable distance on all sides of you. If you are having trouble maintaining a proper distance from a truck, then pull over and let the truck pass.
3. Do Not Pass a Truck on the Right. Truckers are expecting you to pass on the left and may not see you on the right.
