重型车辆盲区行为检查Behaviours – Heavy Vehicle Blind Spots
VISIBILITY AROUND HEAVY VEHICLES
A blind spot is an area of the road outside the driver's field of vision that cannot be seen in the rearview mirrors or through the windows. The taller and longer the vehicle, the bigger the blind spots.
盲点是驾驶员视野之外的道路区域，在后视镜或窗户中无法看到。车辆越高，越长，盲点越大。
WHAT IS A BLIND SPOT?
什么是盲点？
A blind spot is an area of the road outside the driver's field of vision that cannot be seen in the rear-view mirrors or through the windows.
EVERY VEHICLE HAS BLIND SPOTS
盲点是驾驶员视野之外的道路区域，在后视镜或窗户中无法看到。
每辆车都有盲点。
In general, the taller and longer the vehicle, the bigger the blind spots.
All types of vehicles feature pillars that create blind spots, not only SUVs or heavy vehicles. A smaller vehicle with narrower pillars, but with a shorter distance between the driver and the steering wheel, may also create blind spots that can hide other road users. For that reason, it is important to familiarize yourself with the blind spots created by the pillars of the vehicle you are driving, especially if it is a new vehicle.
通常，车辆越高，越长，盲点越大。
所有类型的车辆都具有造成盲点的pillars，而不仅仅是SUV或重型车辆。较小的，具有较窄的pillars，但驾驶员与方向盘之间的距离较短的车辆也可能会产生盲点，这些盲点会隐藏其它道路使用者。因此，重要的是要熟悉所驾驶车辆的pillars所造成的盲点，尤其是新车。
WHERE ARE BLIND SPOTS LOCATED?
Blind spots are all around vehicles, but their size and location vary according to the type of vehicle. The main blind spots are located in front, at the rear, on the sides and behind the windshield pillars of the vehicle.
盲点在哪里？
盲点周围都是车辆，但是其大小和位置会根据车辆的类型而有所不同。主要盲区位于车辆前挡风玻璃的前面，后面，侧面和后面。
BLIND SPOTS CREATED BY THE PILLARS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD
The pillars on either side of the windshield hold the windshield to the vehicle.
The shape and the width of the pillars, as well as the distance between the driver and the steering wheel, have a significant impact on the size and position of the blind spots that are created.
挡风玻璃任一侧上的pillars造成的盲点
挡风玻璃两侧的pillars将挡风玻璃固定在车辆上。
pillars的形状和宽度，以及驾驶员和方向盘之间的距离，对所产生的盲点的大小和位置具有重大影响。
The pillars can create blind spots for both left and right turns, and vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, moped or scooter drivers, motorcyclists) may be invisible during much of the turn.
There are also other blind spots, such as those caused by rearview mirrors and pillars on either side of the windshield.
Some types of vehicles, such as tool vehicles and vehicles fitted with auxiliary equipment (e.g. snowblowers, snowplows, etc.) can have additional blind spots. When you are near one of these vehicles, be careful!
这些pillars会在左右转弯处造成盲点，在转弯的大部分时间里，弱势的道路使用者（行人，骑自行车的人，轻便摩托车或踏板车驾驶员，摩托车手）可能是看不见的。
还有其他盲区，例如由后视镜和挡风玻璃两侧的pillars所引起的盲区。
某些类型的车辆，例如工具车和配备辅助设备的车辆（例如，吹雪机，扫雪机等）可能还会有其它盲区。当靠近这些车辆之一时，请当心！
HEAVY VEHICLE BLIND SPOTS
STRAIGHT-BODY TRUCK
重型车辆盲区
直线型卡车
- In front: the longer the hood, the bigger the blind spot. A small car could fit in this spot undetected.
- On the sides: since visibility on the sides is limited by blind spots, the driver has only rearview mirrors to rely on.
- At the rear: the rear blind spot is very long. It is important to pay attention when a truck is backing up.
CITY BUS
- 前面：引擎盖越长，盲点越大。小型汽车可能会被发现在这个地方而未被发现。
- 侧面：由于侧面的视野受到盲点的限制，因此驾驶员只能依靠后视镜。
- 在后部：后盲点很长。卡车倒车时要注意，这一点很重要。
城市公交车
- In front: the front blind spot is small because city buses have flat fronts. However, bike racks may limit visibility.
- On the sides: because of the bus's large size, its side blind spots cover a significant area even with properly adjusted rearview mirrors. Side blind spots are even bigger for articulated buses.
- At the rear: even though the rear window makes the rear blind spot shorter, it is still important to pay attention when a bus is backing up.
- In front, on the left-hand side: the wider the pillar, the bigger the blind spot.
MOTOR COACH (INTERCITY BUS)
- 正面：正面盲区很小，因为城市公交车的正面平整。但是，自行车架可能会限制视野。
- 侧面：由于公交车尺寸较大，即使安装了适当的后视镜，其侧面盲区也会覆盖较大的区域。铰接式公共汽车的侧盲点更大。
- 在后部：即使后窗使后盲点变短，但在备份公交车时仍要注意。
- 在前面，在左侧：柱子越宽，盲点越大。
汽车coach（城际巴士）
- In front: the front blind spot is similar to that of a city bus because of its flat front. However, its driver's compartment is higher, making its blind spots bigger.
- On the sides: because of the motor coach's significant size and height, its side blind spots cover a large area.
- At the rear: the rear blind spot is very long because motor coaches do not have rear windows. It is important to pay close attention when a motor coach is backing up.
1. 前面：前面的盲点由于其平坦的前端，类似于城市公交车的盲点。但是，其驾驶室较高，因此盲点更大。
2. 侧面：由于汽车coach的尺寸和高度很大，其侧面盲点覆盖了很大的区域。
3. 在后部：后座盲点很长，因为汽车coach没有后窗。重要的是，当汽车coach备份时，密切注意。
