What are areas around trucks where cars disappear into blind spots?

There are four main areas around trucks where cars can disappear into blind spots:

1. In front of the truck: This is the area directly in front of the truck, which can be difficult for the driver to see due to the height of the truck.

2. To the right of the truck: This is the area on the passenger side of the truck, which can be difficult to see due to the large blind spot created by the truck's mirrors.

3. Behind the truck: This is the area directly behind the truck, which can be difficult for the driver to see due to the length of the truck.

4. To the left of the truck: This is the area on the driver's side of the truck. This blind spot is created by the truck's A-pillar, the vertical support that separates the windshield from the driver's side window. The A-pillar can be very wide and can create a large blind spot, especially for shorter drivers or drivers who are sitting far back from the steering wheel.

It is important to be aware of these blind spots when driving around trucks, and to take precautions to avoid them. When passing a truck, always stay in the truck's view and avoid lingering in its blind spots. If you are planning to turn left in front of a truck, make sure to signal well in advance and give the truck plenty of time to slow down and stop.
