Blind spots and no zones are very similar.
Blind spots refer to the spots to the sides of automobiles that drivers cannot see in their rearview and side mirrors.
No zones are essentially the same spots, but for commercial trucks.
Whenever a driver of a smaller vehicle is sharing the road with a large truck, he or she must remain vigilant about staying clear of these dangerous areas.
Drivers may prevent serious accidents by avoiding these spots that are not visible in mirrors.
This is not to say that drivers who are in blind spots or no zones are at fault for accidents when they occur.
The fault may lie with the other driver, if he or she failed to check the spots that the mirrors do not show.
Though not at fault, the driver in the blind spot or no zone can take measures to stay out of accidents and avoid subsequent injuries.
Drivers should try to get out of these spots as soon as possible when they are in them.
If trying to pass another car or commercial truck, it is important to complete the process as soon as it is possible to safely do so.
As a general rule of thumb, drivers should try to position themselves in a manner that allows them to see the person who drives the car in front of them.
If you cannot see another driver, the other driver likely cannot see you either.
For commercial trucks, drivers should position themselves so that they can see truckers in their truck mirrors.
Again, if you cannot see a trucker in the trucker's mirrors, the trucker likely cannot see you.
