Important Tips for Sharing the Road
A public road has to be shared between many different kinds of travellers. When driving in a car you not only have to account for other similar cars, you have to drive with and around the very large, such as an 18-wheeler truck, and also the very small, such as pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles. It’s important to remember that each of them have as much right to be on that road as you do, and that the law requires you to respect them. Common sense requires you to be careful of them.
When driving in the company of 18-wheeler trucks, the most important thing to remember is how very hard it is for them to stop. In normal conditions on a highway, a truck of that size needs the length of a football field to stop. If the roads are wet or slippery, those distance increases. You are endangering both yourself and the truck if you cut in front of a semi and then step on the break. The smarter idea is to give them a wide berth. If you’re sitting at a stop light waiting for your chance to go and a semi-truck is coming from another direction, do not move until you are sure they have stopped. Similarly, remember that a turning semi is going to take up a lot of space, and out of the way.
Semi-trucks have large blind spots; if you can’t see their mirrors, they can’t see you. Travelling next to one for a long distance is risky because you could be hit by flying rubber if one of their many tires blows. In mountainous territory, take into account the fact that the truck will slow down when it goes uphill and speed up when it goes downhill. Either time, you don’t want to be in its way.
On the other side of the vehicle spectrum are motorcycles and bicycles. The temptation where they’re concerned is to try to ignore them or push them aside. This is a mistake, and illegal too. Bicyclists and motorcyclists have the same rights and have to obey the same traffic laws you do. Motorcycles should always be allowed full use of their lane; they need the extra room to maneuver and by trying to share a lane with them you put both of you at risk. Where there is no bike lane, bicyclists have to travel in the right hand lane. If you want to pass a bicyclist up, do so carefully and courteously, using your turn signals, as you would passing any other vehicle. Remember that your car poses a real threat to these people; if there is a collision; they are going to come out very much the worse for it.
Any time you are driving you should be keeping a look out for pedestrians. Pedestrians always have the right of way. Check your blind spots carefully; people, motorcycles and bicycles are all smaller than cars and easy to overlook with a casual glance.
