Vans or trucks can obstruct motorcyclists from a driver's view, making them seem to appear suddenly. We had a truck driver join us to discuss no-zones and blind spots, highlighting the importance of staying visible to truck drivers.

Yesterday Lincoln Land ABATE delivered four Motorcycle Awareness presentations in Driver Education classes, covering the key risks and safe‑driving habits every new driver needs to know: left‑turn collisions, size and speed misjudgment, hazardous road conditions, blind‑spot “vanishing acts,” proper following distance, what to do when a motorcycle passes you, how to safely pass a motorcycle, and why the third look can save a life.
Building this awareness early helps protect everyone on the road.

The Lincoln Land ABATE motorcycle awareness presentation included Mike, a seasoned truck driver and school bus driver, who discussed safety concerns with students, focusing on the hazards posed by large trucks' blind spots or No-Zones. These areas around the rig and trailer limit truck drivers' visibility due to the vehicle's size and height. Vital safety recommendations included avoiding blind spots, steering clear of semi-trucks, and keeping a safe distance to prevent tailgating or drafting. Notably, large trucks can obstruct motorcyclists' visibility, causing them to appear unexpectedly.
