Driving on highways at night can be risky. The risk factor increases even more if there are lot of trucks on the road. You have to always maintain a safe distance from these trucks as there is no way of knowing what there next move is going to be. If you are planning to overtake a heavy vehicle, ensure that the truck driver can see your vehicle. Trucks and other heavy vehicles often have large blind spots and even that leads to accident at times. It is not known, whether the car driver was trying to overtake the truck from the left lane when the accident happened. While overtaking always use dipper lights or pass lights at night so that, the truck driver knows about your vehicle. Do not overtake instantly after using the pass light. Check if the road in front of you is clear and then start overtaking. As these trucks have large blind spots, it is the responsibility of the car driver to ensure that they overtake safely and staying out of the blind spot.
