Turning corners

Driving safely around trucks: Vision Decision

Turning Right:

• Because of their size, large vehicles are not always able to turn from within their own lane.
• Always watch for turn signals indicating that a large vehicle may be making a right turn.

Turning Left:

• When approaching an intersection, be sure to stop behind the white line.
• Large vehicles need ample room when turning left so they can pass safely in front of your vehicle.
