Where is the biggest “blind spot” in a commercial vehicle?
- It depends on the size of the vehicle’s rear view mirror: The larger it is, the bigger is the dead spot in front.
- On the vehicle’s left side.
- Correct answer: At the vehicle’s rear.
- On the vehicle’s front.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: At the vehicle’s rear.
In a commercial vehicle, the cargo box or the load blocks vision through the rear window, so the inside rear view mirror is of no help. This leaves a large area behind the vehicle that the driver cannot see. So when reversing, drive with great care and make sure in advance that nobody is behind the vehicle.
