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.
When you are driving behind a truck and you can't see the truck driver's mirrors, you are in his blind spot.
When passing a large truck, it's crucial to ensure you have ample visibility and space. Check your mirrors and blind spots, and signal your intention to change lanes. Accelerate smoothly to pass quickly but safely, and avoid lingering in the truck's blind spots. Once you've safely passed, signal again and return to your lane only when you can see the truck in your rearview mirror.

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.
