(WFRV) – Troopers with the Wisconsin State Patrol say simple actions can help drivers stay safe while sharing the road with large trucks and buses.
According to a post made by the Wisconsin State Patrol on social media, one of those actions to help drivers stay safe is to avoid lingering in the “no zones,” or the blind spots, of nearby trucks and buses.

Troopers say that the large trucks and buses out on the roadways typically have large blind spots around all four sides of their respective vehicle.
They add that a good tip to remember on if a driver is in a “no zone” of a truck or bus is to look for the driver of the truck or bus in their side mirror. “If you cannot see a truck driver in their side mirror, they cannot see you.”
