The "no-zone" is the area near a semi-truck‚s side and rear where cars seem to disappear into blind spots. Vehicles lingering in the "no-zone" can‚t be seen by truck drivers, causing a potential hazard if a lane change becomes necessary. Tailgating in the rear "no-zone" not only hides you from the truck driver, but also radically reduces your view of traffic ahead. Also when passing, avoid cutting in front of a truck too soon, then abruptly slowing down. Because it takes longer to pass large trucks, maintain your speed and wait until the front of the truck is visible in your side rearview mirror before shifting back into the other lane.
