What is meant by the term "no-zone"?

The term "no-zone" refers to the areas around a large vehicle that are not visible to the driver of that vehicle. These areas are critical to understand for safety reasons because they represent blind spots where other vehicles may be hidden from the view of the larger vehicle's driver.

Understanding no-zones is essential, especially for drivers operating passenger vehicles, as they need to be aware that if they are in one of these areas, the driver of the large vehicle (such as a truck or bus) may not be able to see them. The no-zone includes areas directly in front of the truck, directly behind it, and alongside the truck on both sides, particularly the right side. Recognizing these zones can help prevent accidents by encouraging drivers to avoid lingering in these blind spots when navigating around larger vehicles.

This concept emphasizes the importance of safe driving practices and awareness of vehicle dimensions, particularly in situations involving larger trucks that have significant blind spots.
