What can I do to safely share the road with large trucks?
Please keep in mind that a typical 4-door sedan weighs about 3,000 pounds. Trucks on our major arterial roads routinely operate at 80,000 pounds. It takes a truck, in perfect conditions, considerably more time to stop than a car. Please discipline yourself to follow the following safe driving tips around trucks.
