GEICO Insurance has added "Teens and Trucks" to its online library of safe driving materials for teen drivers. The brochure, developed with the American Moving and Storage Association, includes valuable information for teens on how to
safely share the highway with large trucks. The GEICO teen safe driving web site is located at www.geico.com/auto/safety.
While the information is helpful to drivers of all ages, GEICO is particularly interested in providing teens with this information when they first learn to drive.
As discussed in "Teens and Trucks," here are some valuable tips for safe highway driving around large trucks:
• Stay out of a truck's blind spots or "No Zones."
• Be careful when attempting to pass a truck.
• Do not swerve in front of a truck or cause the driver to come to a sudden stop.
• Avoid "Squeeze Play" when a large truck needs to make a wide turn.
• Do not cut off a large truck or passenger bus.
GEICO provides the materials at no cost to families, driving classes, law enforcement officials and state agencies.
