Safety, safety, safety.  This must ALWAYS be a priority, even when walking.

Case in point, I almost ran over two people in the past two weeks because they were walking in such a way I could not see them.  If you must walk in front of a parked truck, stay at least 6 to 8 feet in front of them, if at all possible. 

There is a blind spot right in front of the truck.  If a driver is sitting in the drivers seat, they cannot see  directly in front of the truck. 

The people that I almost hit were both walking from their trucks towards the truck stop.  I was preparing to take off and just plain did not see them.  Thankfully when the truck started to move, they were able to move to safety, quickly. 

Never ever let down your guard.

Let's be safe out there and happy motoring!
