Ah, I remember when I first passed my driving test and couldn't wait to hit the open road, wind rushing through my (sparse) hair and smell of petrol fumes and burning clutch in the air. One of the things I never had the urge to do as a new driver was take on a truck. I mean, Vauxhall Corsa (that's GM to my US readers) against 40 ton Juggernaut is not really much of a competition.
GEICO, a leading US insurer, is so concerned that young American drivers are at risk from large trucks that it has commissioned specialist research on the subject. As with all good research its findings are pretty much a statement of the obvious. It includes pearls of wisdom like:
- Stay out of a truck's blind spots
- Do not swerve in front of a truck
- Be careful when attempting to pass a truck
If you successfully manage to avoid being crushed by a truck you might be in line for a cheap car insurance quote. You might also live long enough to enjoy the saving.
