If you can't see the truck's mirrors in front of you, it means you are in the truck's blind spot. In this position, the driver of the truck cannot see you. Truck drivers rely heavily on their mirrors to see vehicles around them, and if you are not visible in their mirrors, you are essentially invisible to them. This is a standard road safety guideline: if you cannot see the truck's mirrors, the truck driver cannot see you either.
Trucks have significant blind spots, including a large area directly in front of the truck that can extend about 20 feet, where smaller vehicles may be hidden from the driver's view due to the height and size of the truck cab. Therefore, being in front of a truck where you cannot see its mirrors is a dangerous spot because the driver cannot see you.
