Driving Truck Smart is No Accident

It’s a simple rule: a truck simply doesn’t drive like a car. Trucks weigh more, are much taller and can’t make the same sudden moves a car can. They have much larger blind spots and need a lot more room to come to a stop. Nearly 1/4 of all vehicles on Utah’s highways are trucks and those numbers are increasing.

As a driver, it’s important to learn how to interact safely with large trucks. By incorporating a few simple behaviors, you can become “Truck Smart” and help make Utah’s roads safer for everyone.
