Here at WSI, our experts in under bond warehouseing in Sydney take truck safety very seriously. With so many trucks on our roads it's vital that drivers are educated in taking care when sharing the roads with heavy vehicles.

The number of trucks on Australian roads is expected to double in the next 20 years and our container transport company in Sydney explain that 80% of road fatalities involving heavy vehicles are mainly caused by the other party – not by the truck driver. Around 63% of these other parties are aged 21 or younger.

Here we share some pointer to help teach young drivers how to drive safely around trucks:

• Give plenty of notice of turns or stops, especially in heavy traffic
• Give trucks plenty of space when they change lanes
• When turning across or joining a traffic stream, watch out for trucks
• Stick to your own side of the road as trucks cannot get out of your way easily
• Wait for trucks to complete their manoeuvres before proceeding
• Beware of blind spots.

In the 12 months to March 2018, 184 people died from 163 fatal crashes involving heavy trucks across Australia.
