It can create additional blind spotsThis was the right answer

Large or high cabs and bodywork can hide close road users, particularly in sleeper-cab designs. Check the actual vehicle’s blind areas and use its fitted aids and direct observations appropriately. Vehicle design and equipment vary; do not assume a universal number of blind spots for every large vehicle.
