Small vehicles pose a significant threat to commercial trucks. In fact, many collisions are caused by negligent drivers of passenger vehicles. Because these cars are so much smaller than commercial trucks, they can't be seen behind and beside these trucks. When drivers of passenger vehicles enter into the space where the commercial truck driver has limited or no visibility, accidents are much more likely to happen.
It is also common for drivers of passenger vehicles to make unsafe lane changes in front of commercial trucks. These lane changes often catch the truck driver off guard, as they usually occur after the car has been out of the visibility of the commercial truck. Another hazard for truck drivers is the misconception that commercial vehicles are slow. This can cause car drivers to attempt to bypass a truck in the middle of a left or right turn, which usually results in an accident.
