Trucks can legally use more than one lane to turn, so hang back and keep out of harm’s way.

Trucks and other vehicles over 7.5 metres long that have a DO NOT OVERTAKE TURNING VEHICLE

sign on the back are legally allowed to take up more than one lane to turn at corners, intersections and roundabouts.

 Leave two lanes for trucks when turning

Truck drivers often need to take up more than one lane to turn at corners, intersections and roundabouts, so keep both lanes beside a truck free when it is turning.

Truck drivers might not be able to see you next to them and you could collide with a truck as it turns.
