Keep yourself safe when driving near larger vehicles like semi-trucks. Semi-trucks are big, heavy and slow to respond compared to smaller moving cars. Stay out of their blind spots and do not switch lanes directly in front of them. Giving them extra space and time to pass and merge can greatly decrease the risk of accidents. Always give trucks room when turning, as well.
