Lorries have much larger blind spots than cars, especially down the sides and immediately in front or behind. If you're in one of these zones, the lorry driver may not be able to see you, increasing the risk of collision, particularly during merges or turns.
Lorries often need to take up more than one lane, or swing out, to make a turn, especially at tight junctions. You should always give them plenty of room and avoid trying to squeeze past, as their 'tail swing' could easily catch you out. Be patient and wait until they have completed their manoeuvre safely.
When overtaking a lorry on a motorway, ensure you have ample space to complete the manoeuvre safely. Lorries create significant air turbulence and spray in wet weather, and they have longer stopping distances. Pass quickly but smoothly, and allow plenty of room before moving back into the left-hand lane.
Yes, lorries, especially when heavily laden, require significantly longer stopping distances than cars. This is due to their weight and momentum. Always maintain a large safe following distance when behind a lorry, particularly in adverse weather conditions or at higher speeds.
The Highway Code advises car drivers to be aware of the special characteristics of large vehicles, such as their blind spots, restricted manoeuvrability, and longer stopping distances. It emphasises patience, giving plenty of space, and anticipating their movements, especially at junctions and when overtaking.
By completing Lorries & Blind Spots, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Great Britain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
