They can. Very large vehicles can have very large blind spots.
To avoid problems with your vehicle's blind spots, position your vehicle in a lane where you have clear visibility of adjacent traffic. Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, especially large trucks and buses that have larger blind spots. Additionally, use your mirrors effectively and consider utilizing blind-spot monitoring systems if available. Always check over your shoulder before changing lanes to ensure a clear path.
Left and right rear.
When a large truck is driving in your left mirror blind spot, it is often referred to as being "in your blind spot" or "in the truck's blind spot." This area is where the driver of the truck cannot see vehicles in adjacent lanes due to the size and structure of the truck. It is important for drivers to be aware of these blind spots to avoid potential accidents when changing lanes or merging. Always check mirrors and look over your shoulder before making maneuvers to ensure safety.
Technically speaking the blind spot is where a driver is unable to see. Generally the blind spot is where the vehicle's frame prohibits the driver from seeing while driving normally. To look into the blind spots, drivers will have to lean forward or backward to see if there are any vehicles or pedestrians in their blind spot.

A potential hypothesis for exploring the blind spot could be: "Drivers are more likely to experience accidents when changing lanes due to a lack of visibility in their vehicle's blind spot. Implementing blind spot monitoring technology in vehicles will reduce the frequency of lane-change related accidents."
A blind spot near a large truck is typically located directly behind the truck, extending several feet back, as well as along the sides, particularly on the right side where the truck driver has limited visibility. Additionally, there is a significant blind area in front of the truck, where smaller vehicles may not be seen by the driver. It's crucial for drivers to avoid lingering in these blind spots to ensure safety. Always maintain a safe distance when driving near large trucks.
referred to as "no zone" areas
Large side mirrors
It's the vehicles blind spot monitoring system alerting the driver that there is another vehicle in their blind spot and they shouldn't change lanes.
The best way to check for vehicles in your blind spot is to use a combination of mirrors and head checks. Regularly adjust your side mirrors to minimize blind spots, and always glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. Additionally, utilizing rearview cameras or blind spot monitoring systems, if available, can enhance your awareness. Always remember to signal your intentions before making any lane changes.
