If the truck ahead swings right before making a left turn at an intersection, it is very dangerous to:
|
Yield the right-of-way to the truck driver.
|
|
|
Stop behind the truck until it has completed the turn.
|
|
|
Sound your horn at the truck driver.
|
|
|
Try to squeeze between the truck and curb to make a left turn.
|
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.
