Sharing the road with heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trailers requires extra caution because these vehicles have larger blind spots, longer stopping distances, and wider turning requirements. Smaller vehicles should maintain a safe following distance and avoid travelling too closely behind or alongside heavy vehicles. Drivers should stay out of truck blind spots, particularly directly behind the vehicle, close to the sides, and near the front corners. When a heavy vehicle signals a turn, other road users should allow sufficient space for it to manoeuvre safely.

Overtaking should only be attempted when it is legal, visibility is clear, and there is enough space to complete the manoeuvre without speeding or cutting in too closely. Drivers should never overtake heavy vehicles near blind curves, intersections, narrow bridges, or other restricted-visibility areas. Motorcyclists and cyclists should remain especially cautious around turning trucks and buses, as they may be difficult for operators to see. Pedestrians should also avoid standing close to moving heavy vehicles. Maintaining distance, respecting blind spots, and allowing heavy vehicles adequate room to turn and stop can significantly reduce collision risks and improve road safety.
