Lorries, Buses & Blind Spots

Sharing the road with lorries, buses, trams and large or slow vehicles — and their blind spots.

What this lesson covers
  • Identify the blind-spot zones around a lorry or bus, and why the nearside is the most dangerous one to linger in
  • Explain why a long vehicle may swing out the opposite way before a turn, and why you must never fill the gap that opens up
  • State why large vehicles need a longer stopping distance, and what that means for following and overtaking them
  • Recognise when to give way to a bus signalling to pull out from a stop
