Heavy vehicle blind spots are areas around lorries and buses that the driver cannot see, even with mirrors. They are dangerous because other road users, especially smaller vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, can become completely invisible to the driver, leading to serious collisions.
To avoid a lorry's blind spot in Austria, always ensure you can see the lorry driver's face in their side mirror. Maintain a safe distance, especially when behind or beside them, and be extra cautious when they signal a turn, as they may need to make a wide swing.
A 'wide swing' is when a long lorry or bus needs to steer to the left before turning right to clear the corner. This creates a dangerous gap on their right side that other drivers or cyclists might mistakenly try to enter, putting them directly in the vehicle's blind spot and path.
When overtaking heavy vehicles on Austrian motorways (Autobahn/Schnellstraße), you must maintain a safe lateral distance and ensure you have sufficient space to pull back into your lane without cutting in front of the heavy vehicle. Re-entering their lane too soon can put you back into their blind spot, risking an accident if they need to brake suddenly.
Austrian traffic law emphasizes that vehicle drivers, particularly those of heavy vehicles, must pay special attention to vulnerable road users. Pedestrians who have already entered the roadway must be allowed to cross safely. Drivers are expected to be extra vigilant for cyclists and pedestrians, especially during turns, acknowledging the inherent dangers of blind spots. It is crucial for cyclists and pedestrians to also be aware of these dangers.
By completing Heavy Vehicle 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 Austria. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
