Large vehicles have significant blind spots where a driver cannot see smaller vehicles or cyclists. These zones are especially dangerous during lane changes, turns, and in urban areas (agglomeration), making it crucial for learner drivers to stay visible and avoid lingering in these areas.
When a lorry or coach prepares for a wide turn, it often needs to occupy more than one lane. As a driver, you must anticipate this movement, give them space, and never try to pass on the side the lorry is turning towards, even if it seems to move away from it initially. This is a common hazard in French city traffic.
Lorries and coaches, due to their size and weight, require significantly longer stopping distances than passenger cars, especially in wet weather or on steep descents (mountain roads). Always maintain a much greater safety distance behind them, particularly on autoroutes or before a peage.
Yes, while overtaking lorries on autoroutes, you must do so safely and quickly, maintaining appropriate speed and distance. Always ensure you have a clear view and sufficient space to complete the manoeuvre without impeding the lorry or other traffic, being mindful of their blind spots and the air displacement they create.
If a coach signals a lane change, and you suspect you are in its blind spot, you should immediately adjust your speed to either fall back or accelerate safely out of the blind spot, making yourself visible. Never assume the coach driver sees you, especially in dense city traffic or on busy agglomeration roads.
By completing Lorries, Coaches & 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 France. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
