Big Rig Blues

Depending on the skill of the driver and the type of vehicle, passenger cars and trucks can avoid road debris or other obstacles without losing control. A truck has a very small margin for error in these types of quick maneuvers. The one thing you, as a passenger vehicle driver, can do to avoid causing an accident or getting entangled in one is give semis a wide berth and a watchful eye.


In general, big rig jockeys are well-trained, courteous drivers. If passenger vehicle drivers pay attention and exercise the same degree of courtesy, the journey will likely be safer and stress free.
