What are the danger areas around trucks and buses, where crashes are more likely to occur, called?

The correct term for the danger areas around trucks and buses, where crashes are more likely to occur, is "no zones." These are specific regions around large vehicles where the driver's visibility is significantly limited, making it challenging for the driver to see smaller vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists. Because of these blind spots, it's essential for other drivers to be aware of and avoid lingering in these areas, especially when changing lanes or making turns.

Understanding no zones is crucial for safety on the road. For example, when a vehicle is driving in a no zone, the truck or bus driver might not be aware of it, leading to potential collisions if the larger vehicle moves into the space without visibility. Being educated on no zones enhances a driver's ability to navigate around larger vehicles safely and reduces the chances of accidents.

Other terms such as "blind spots" generally refer to specific areas around a vehicle where the driver cannot see, but they do not encompass the broader concept of no zones as recognized in the context of trucks and buses. Safety zones and high-risk areas are not standard terminology used to describe these dangerous zones associated with larger vehicles.
