easy to say do either of these to avoid it, but without having clear view of those spots, it's still a crapshoot. I'd rather be rear ended than tboned from the side if I had to make the choice.
Yeah you didn't say it was his fault, but what good would seeing the truck coming do? Like bmwdon says, not many good options there.
