Avoiding Truck and SUV Blind Spots on an E-Bike in Louisiana

Hey, Johnny Joubert here.

When you ride an e-bike in Louisiana, remember this: larger vehicles have larger blind spots. That includes:

Trucks
SUVs
Delivery vans

They may not be able to see you clearly—especially:

When they’re turning
When they’re changing lanes

Don’t linger beside big vehicles

If you can’t see the driver, they can’t see you. So avoid riding next to large vehicles for long stretches, and don’t assume they’ve noticed you.

Why visibility matters

Many larger vehicles—like newer Suburbans—can have features that reduce your visibility even further, including thicker pillars and other sightline limitations.

The takeaway is simple: treat blind spots like a real danger, because they are.
