One of the most common causes of truck and bus accidents in NSW roads is hitting a vehicle hidden in blind spots. If you’re a truck driver, bus driver, or heavy vehicle operator, here’s how to stay safe and avoid disaster:

✅ 1. Check Your Blind Spots🔹 Use wide-angle and blind spot mirrors.🔹 Install dash cams and side cameras—a must-have for professional truck drivers.
✅ 2. Use Signals & Horns🔹 Always indicate early and use horn alerts to make presence known.🔹 Alert nearby cars and motorcycles in hidden zones.
✅ 3. Feel the Vehicle🔹 If your truck or bus feels off-balance, you could be pushing a car unknowingly.🔹 Stay alert to driver warnings, lights, and road resistance.
✅ 4. Safe Distance is Crucial🔹 Heavy vehicle training teaches how to manage stopping distance.🔹 Always stop far enough to see the tires of the car in front.
