What are blind spots around large trucks and buses where the driver Cannot see other vehicles?

A truck's blind spots are called No Zones. A No Zone is the area around the trucks where your car is no longer visible or you are so close that the truck can't stop or maneuver safely. In both cases, when you are in a No Zone you are in much greater danger of getting into a collision.
