Because of their large size and weight, semi-trucks pose certain inherent risks to other vehicles on the roads. These trucks have large blind spots. They move slowly in traffic, often causing other drivers to try to dart around them. Once a heavy semi gets going, however, it has difficulty stopping quickly and is vulnerable to jack-knifing if cut off.

Semi-trucks are also prone to overturning on curves, due to their high centers of gravity. Additionally, they often carry hazardous cargos that can be dangerous to other drivers if spilled. Victims of semi-truck auto accidents often face severe, life-threatening injuries or death.
