Which Side of a Semi Truck Has the Biggest Blind Spot?

Semi trucks are massive in size, and they come with many blind spots. Blind spots can be defined as areas that the driver is unable to see, even when using mirrors.

This makes them highly dangerous and can result in devastating accidents if the driver is not careful. Alongside this, the size of semi-trucks also makes them difficult to maneuver, which further increases the risk of an accident occurring.

When it comes to semi-trucks, there are two major blind spots that drivers should be aware of: one on each side of the vehicle. On the left, there’s a long blind spot stretching from the front bumper all the way around to about halfway down the rear of the truck. This blind spot is especially dangerous because it covers a large area and is often difficult for other drivers to see.

On the right side of a semi-truck, there is a much smaller blind spot but one that’s still significant in size. This blind spot stretches from just behind the cab all the way along to just before the rear wheel. While it’s much smaller than its counterpart on the left side, it can still be dangerous as it covers a substantial part of the right side of the truck.

So, which side has bigger blind spot?

The left side of a semi-truck has a much larger blind spot than its counterpart on the right side. The left side’s blind spot covers a large area from front bumper all around to about halfway down its rear end.

On top of this, it’s often difficult for other drivers to see this area due to its size and position. In comparison, while there is still a significant blind spot on its right side, it’s much smaller than that found on its left.

Conclusion

To sum up, when it comes to semi-trucks, it’s important for drivers to be aware of their numerous blind spots; these can be especially dangerous due to their sheer size and maneuverability issues. Of these two sides that have significant blind spots – left and right –the left has a much bigger one stretching from front bumper all around to about halfway down its rear end; conversely, while still significant in size, the right has a much smaller one stretching from just behind cab all along until before rear wheel.
