43Replythis truck clearly needs more/better adjusted mirrors
39ReplyMy first thought "how can right outside his window be a blind spot?" Can't he just look out the window?
12ReplyWhen I did driver's ed they actually got a semi cab and had us all sit in it so we could see exactly how the blind spots work, even with fish eye mirrors. The cab is so high up you'd have to crane your neck to see most cars down there.

32ReplyStupid driver bought a truck with steering wheel on wrong side
20ReplyBut it's on the right-hand side, like the vast majority of cars and trucks?
3ReplyAre you British, Australian, or Japanese? (Or another place I don't know about?)
Because I am like 70% sure the rest of the world has left-side steering wheels

7ReplyYes much more accurate tho it depends on the trucks make and model some are worse than others, this is definitely a good visual though.

WHAT?
6ReplyYep facing forward right behind the side mirrors is a big blind spot that most people don't realise

How is this still legal to have blindspots on a truck?
12ReplyEspecially when spaces at a junction for cyclists to wait are the exact same shape and size as these blind spots.

Is it because of vehicle/height differences that there is a blindspot where one could easily see out the side window?
Curious, not sarcastic.

I'm sorry but I refuse to accept the right side blindspot.
Turn your fucking head.
5ReplyDo you mean the driver side blind spot? The one on the passenger side is real depending on the size of your vehicle. I drive trucks and while it's not quite as big as this shows there definitely is a blind spot where I cannot see the car that's level with my door. A pickup can generally be seen
Edit: I looked closer and just realized he is driving on the wrong side this isn't OK
So ya you are mostly correct there is a small blind spot drivers side but not that big
5ReplyConsidering the front blind spot I just assumed the driver is sitting on the right side (the correct side btw)

This must be why trucks don't speed up when I'm an inch off their bumpers flashing my brights /s
4ReplyLately, I've been seeing a lot of trucks in my country have a "dead angles" sticker that shows something similar.
3ReplyThat's shouldn't be right 🥁
Explaining my own joke ... the driver is driving on the wrong side
