In this view from the driver’s seat you can see the convex mirror on the right side. This mirror can be as much as 20 to 25 feet away from the driver on larger trucks. You can see that the image is not very big, and it’s often blurred. Sometimes the mirror is reflecting the same shade of color as the background view. It’s very hard for the driver to see that far away. Painting a bright colored border around that mirror could help the driver pick it out quicker. Some companies add things to this walkway, such as fire extinguishers on the handrails. These things reduce visibility. Anything that blocks visibility increases the danger around these trucks.
