Common Signs of Dangerous Truck Driving Behavior, and What to Do If You See It

Spread the love

Truck driving requires a high level of focus and skill. The size of a semi-truck alone makes the vehicles much more difficult to drive compared to cars, and therefore, drivers must adopt careful driving habits to keep themselves and others safe.

Dangerous truck driving can look similar to dangerous car or motorcycle driving, but often with much more detrimental consequences.

Instances of Hazardous Truck Driving

Any driver who fails to obey the rules of the road puts themselves and others around them in danger. Behind the wheel of a large truck, the damage caused by bad driving can be even more extensive than in a smaller vehicle.

Some of the most common dangerous driving behaviors that are exhibited by truck drivers include:

  • Swerving
  • Speeding, or driving too slow
  • Failure to use a turn signal
  • Running red lights and stop signs, or failure to yield

All of these actions are especially dangerous if the weather is bad. In rainy, snowy, or windy conditions, one careless move can quickly turn deadly.

What to Do if You Encounter a Dangerous Truck Driver

When you are driving and notice a truck driver that is endangering others on the road, contact the police or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration as soon as you are able to safely do so. You should avoid driving close to the truck to prevent a collision.

“The process was stress-free”

I hired Attorney Casey to represent me in a complicated contract dispute. Despite the complexity of the language in the 15-page contract, Attorney Casey was able to negotiate a very fair settlement for me without my having to appear in court. The process was stress-free; working with his staff was easy — they communicated clearly and timely with me. Best of all, the dispute was resolved in a matter of a few months, not more than a year as I had predicted.
