Introduction
Driving a normal car for long hours is tough, but
drying a large truck or semi-truck or trailer is
even tougher. The trucks routes tend to be long
and require the drive for long hours or days.
Semi-Truck Drivers tend to have a bad reputation
since at times they are guilty of driving
irresponsibly and causing accidents. However, the
fact remains that these truck drivers are an
integral part of the US culture and many drivers
are unaware of how to drive when in close
proximity to one. Large trucks have blind spots
all around them including in the front and
require more space to stop and turn. At times it
is the truck drivers who are at fault and fail to
drive their large vehicles in the right manner.
This PPT provides information on how an expert
truck accident attorney in Los Angeles can assist
you in the case of an accident with a speeding
truck.

• Never drive in close proximity to a Semi Truck.
• Pay attention to the blind spots, if you cannot
  see their rare view mirrors, they cannot see you.
• Keep a lookout for a truck being driven
  erratically, since this usually means the driver
  has fallen asleep at the wheel or is in a hurry
  to meet targets.
• Beware of the bad road conditions when in the
  vicinity of a truck.
• Speeding, bad roads, or winding roads can cause
  the cargo to shift especially if not secured
  properly.
• Driving fast on shredded tires can result in loss
  of control hence it is best to be aware of the
  traffic around you.
