Ever pulled a trailer of any size? It’s not uncommon to have to do that to make the turn.

Drive around a even a 26’ trailer for a little while and observe how clueless people are about trailers.

Lol. I just got it washed, $2 off Tuesday, but the tires are hit for sure.

So truck is sitting in the right lane and decides to turn left. Not surprising.

They don't assign fault anymore with shite like this. They write up the police report and let the insurance companies hash it out.


Not in Alabama. They claim that's what they do, but when you read the accident report there's a code for "prime contributing unit number" or something similar that identifies who to blame.

All except truck drivers apparently. After all, they are professionals. They should be held to a lower standard.

Pretty sure I've seen them in bigger threads when I was logged in, but I could be mistaken.

, exactly.

It's one thing to nudge out into the right lane as you start your turn, but it's quite another to be so far our of the left lane that a car comes up in that lane at the intersection.

Driving a trailer isn't easy, but you don't get to make up traffic laws as you go.
