The rule of thumb to stay out of another driver's blind spot is: if you can't see the other driver's face in the left side mirror, then he can't see you, either. If a driver finds himself in this position, he must either speed up or drop back to ensure he is seen. Large trucks and vans have the most difficulty with blind spots. These blind spots are such a significant problem that they are identified in most states as “No Zones.” It is acceptable to give a toot on the horn if they start to drift into your lane. The most important thing to remind your student is, IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE DRIVER'S FACE IN HIS LEFT SIDE MIRROR, ASSUME HE CAN'T SEE YOU.
Tractor trailers now carry signs that warn of wide right tuns. The truck driver will signal right and then move to a left or far left lane position before turning to the right. The driver of a passenger vehicle must pay attention to the turn signal and not drive up the right side of the turning truck. As the truck driver turns, the right rear No Zone rotates with the cab of the truck so that it lies along the side of the trailer. A car that encroaches in this No Zone is guaranteed to be forced off the road or collide with the trailer as it turns.
