Questions Learners Have About Heavy Vehicle Safety

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Heavy Vehicle Safety, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the main blind spots for lorry drivers in the Netherlands?

Lorry drivers have significant blind spots directly in front of, next to, and behind their vehicles. A good rule of thumb in Dutch traffic is: if you cannot see the driver in their mirrors, they likely cannot see you.

Why is it important to stay out of a lorry's blind spot?

Staying out of a lorry's blind spot drastically reduces the chance of a collision, especially when the lorry is turning or changing lanes, as the driver has limited or no visibility in these areas. This is crucial for road safety in the Netherlands.

What is air turbulence from heavy vehicles and why is it dangerous?

Air turbulence is the strong current of air created by large vehicles moving at speed. It can affect smaller vehicles, especially motorcycles and bicycles, causing them to lose balance or swerve, leading to potential accidents on Dutch roads.

How much space should I give a heavy vehicle when it's turning?

Heavy vehicles require significantly more space when cornering due to their length. In the Netherlands, you should always give them ample room, keeping well back and never trying to squeeze alongside to avoid collisions.

Do modern trucks in the Netherlands have systems to detect blind spots?

Many modern trucks are equipped with Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems. However, these systems often fail to detect smaller vehicles like motorcycles or bicycles, making it crucial for drivers and riders to still check blind spots independently and assume they are not seen.
