Re: Pedestrian Struck
No doubt! Here's something important that people really need to keep in mind, too. Those "No-Zone" posters, billboards and signs you keep seeing everywhere? They're no joke! I am not kidding when I say a semi has got a 15-foot blind spot directly in front! We have a HUGE blind spot directly to our right, too! If a person on a bicycle gets into that blind spot and are not aware of it, then they are as good as dead if the truck has to make a right turn! If they swing directly out in front of the truck on their bike, and get into that frontal blindspot, they are equally dead! The chances of the driver seeing them are about nil! Pay ATTENTION around big trucks! Or else wind up looking like this! ![]() Serious business! Know the No-Zones! |

Re: Pedestrian Struck
+1 I drive a explosives truck and alway worried about people. I had a old lady change lanes in front of me the other day. When she got in front of me, she was gone. I slowed it down and she was back
