Backing

Driving safely around trucks: Vision Decision

If you see a large vehicle backing into an area to load, unload or park, allow the driver to do so. Don't try to squeeze past the vehicle's rear as it is backing up.

Remember - If you can't see the driver's face in his or her side mirror or window, he or she can't see you and may not know you're there.
