2. Slow speeds: Tractor-trailers are heavy and cannot accelerate quickly, so they may drive slower than the posted speed limit.
3. Long stopping distances: Tractor-trailers need more time to stop than cars, so they may need to brake earlier for traffic lights and stop signs.
4. Blind spots: Tractor-trailers have large blind spots on their sides and directly behind them, so it is important to stay out of these areas when driving near them.
5. Lane changes: Tractor-trailers need more space to change lanes than cars, so they may turn on their turn signals early and move over gradually.
6. Tailgating: Avoid tailgating tractor-trailers, as this can prevent them from seeing you and lead to an accident.
7. Yielding: If a tractor-trailer is driving slowly or making a wide turn, be sure to yield to them as they need more time and space to maneuver.
