We Need Space: Keep Out Of Truck Blind Spots

Trucks may be higher up than cars and have bigger mirrors, but truck drivers actually have much larger blind spots than cars do. Be aware of them and keep out of those areas to keep you and truck drivers safe.

Heavy vehicle drivers are proud of their safe driving records, but at the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, we know some people might feel a little intimidated by sharing the road with them.

Trucks are difficult to manoeuvre, have large blind spots and constantly have to navigate unpredictable traffic. Yet four out of five fatal accidents involving heavy vehicles are not the heavy vehicle driver’s fault.

Join us in promoting safety by sharing these videos, posters and fact sheets with your friends and family. Let’s all give Australia’s truck drivers the space they need to keep us safe.
