This is the fundamental way of mental positioning that all cyclist must have. Trucks are heavy vehicles and the driver may not see you as compared to other smaller vehicles. So you need to be extra careful as a bicycle rider dealing with trucks in Kenya. If you riding too close to a truck, you should take caution!

Careless is one of the major cause of road accidents involving people. Careless driving either from drivers or road users results in road accidents and injuries. But you need to understand that to maintain and ensure safety while riding with a truck, you must ride with care and follow the rules.
