What Penza drivers need to know about heavy trucks on the road

The State Traffic Inspectorate of the Penza region warns drivers about caution on the roads. In conditions of changing weather and road conditions outside the city, you need to be especially attentive. You seem to see the truck, but that doesn’t mean the driver can see you.

Employees of the traffic police remind the rules that should be followed next to heavy transport. This is especially true of blind spots. The driver of the truck does not see what is happening about ten meters behind the car, as well as directly in front of the cabin and on the sides of it. It is better not to be in these places.

Don't take long to drive near the truck. When overtaking a heavy truck, keep your distance. Long overtaking is dangerous because you may simply not be noticed. Overtake quickly and do not forget the distance. If a heavy truck overtakes you, do not press too close to it. If you overtake yourself - also do not come close and make sure that the oncoming lane is free.

On the rise, the truck always accelerates in front of the slide, otherwise it may stall. Give her the chance to overtake you and keep your distance. In dense flow, do not try to press against the cabin or side of the bumper. The driver can't see you, especially on the right.
