Yeah, that truck wasn't supposed to make that u-turn.
The weight limit signs spell it out.
Driver can't read.

are you dry van or reefer or flatbed?
Technically all 3 but 96% dry, 3.999% reefer, 0.001% flat. I work for a company that does all 3 and I'm certified through them for all 3, but they mainly keep me dry van.

True, but how would you turn around on that street to begin with? He was headed towards lake ave away from the causeway. There is nowhere to turn around for him. And turning on to a side street would need to be a wider turn than this. He would have to take a wide arse turn to get on Bonnabel.

Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said "I'm sorry I
Had a bad day again"
She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace
Smeared the lipstick on her face
Slammed the door and said "I'm sorry I
Had a bad day again"

Sometimes you might have to drive a couple of miles to be safe.
Find a parking lot whatever. That turn was too tight for that truck to make.
Hopefully, he'll never do that again.
