Lorries have significantly larger blind spots than cars, especially down their sides and directly behind them. Understanding these 'no-zones' is crucial for learner drivers to avoid dangerous situations, particularly when overtaking or being overtaken, as you might be invisible to the lorry driver.
Tail swing refers to the rear of a long vehicle, like a lorry, swinging out when the front turns in the opposite direction. As a learner driver, you must anticipate this, particularly on tight bends or when a lorry is turning, and maintain a safe distance to avoid a collision.
Lorries, especially when heavily laden, require a much greater stopping distance than cars due to their weight and momentum. Always leave a significant gap when following a lorry, even more so in wet or icy conditions, to allow ample reaction and braking time.
Due to their length, lorries often cannot complete a turn within a single lane without the trailer mounting the kerb or colliding with street furniture. They may need to position themselves wider or straddle lanes to make the turn safely, requiring other road users to be patient and allow them space as per the Highway Code.
Overtaking a lorry requires more time and space due to its length and potential for air turbulence. It's vital to ensure a clear view ahead, maintain a safe speed, and allow sufficient room before moving back into the left lane, always being aware of their blind spots, especially on Great Britain's motorways.
This is a common indication that the lorry is preparing for a wide turn. The driver might be positioning the vehicle to clear the turn. You should anticipate this by slowing down and allowing them plenty of space, never trying to get inside their turn, as they might not see you.
By completing Lorries: Blind Spots & Wide Turns, 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.
