Fort Smith No-Zone Accident Attorneys
Due to the immense size of 18 wheeler trucks, these monstrous vehicles have many areas around the truck that provide no visibility to the driver. When a vehicle is present in these no-zones, the truck driver will not be able to see the vehicle at all, which can cause potential dangers when sudden driving maneuvers are necessary.
However, it is still the truck drivers responsibility to pay attention to whether there is a vehicle in his blind spot, and if there is a vehicle present, a driver is expected to take adequate safety precautions. It is unsurprising that a significant amount of truck accidents occur as a result of truck drivers failing to notice vehicles lingering in no-zones.

Where Are the No-Zones?
Some larger passenger vehicles already have sizable blind spots that make driving difficult, 18 wheeler truck’s no-zones are exponentially larger and proportionally more challenging. The actual size of the no-zone is dependent on many factors such as trailer length, height of cab, and mirror placement. No-zones can engulf a significant portion of a drivers total view and even the most experienced truck drivers often find it difficult to manage these no-zones. There are primarily four major no-zones that belong on every heavy haul truck, these typical zones include:
- Large area behind the truck
- Small area directly in front of truck
- Small area to the back left of the driver
- Large area behind the passenger seat
All drivers are warned to avoid these no-zones as a vehicle present in these no-zones face significantly increased likelihood of a truck accident.
