Explanation
Trucks make wider turns than smaller vehicles, as truck drivers sometime need to swing wide to manage their turns. When this happens, it may look like trucks are going straight or turning left, while they are actually making a right turn. Always give truck drivers plenty of room to turn, and never try to squeeze around them.
