Correct answer
Because they have larger blind spots
Lorries have nearby areas with limited visibility that can conceal pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. Before and during a turn or when joining traffic, check the surroundings, mirrors and available aids, without assuming they reveal everyone. Do not start or continue a manoeuvre unless it is safe. Blind spots require greater care; they do not make mirrors unnecessary or mean the lorry turns faster.
