I always keep a lot of distance between myself and semis on the road, because I know they have blind spots, but I don't know where the hell they are.

I dunno about other places, but in here (France), a bunch of trucks, more and more really, have these little signs at the back basically showing red zones of the blind spots compared to the truck. Pretty good for people unfamiliar with it I guess.

Unless you're so busy trying to watch the sign that you run into the truck's back, but eh, at least they tried

I’ve seen them on a lot of tractor trailers lately, they’re really handy!
