Explanation
Large trucks often need to swing wide to the left before making a right turn. This is a normal maneuver due to the truck’s size and turning radius. Do not attempt to pass a truck on the right when it appears to be turning left - it may actually be preparing for a right turn.
Trying to squeeze between the truck and the curb is extremely dangerous and can result in a serious collision. Always stay back, watch for turn signals, and give the truck plenty of space to complete its turn safely.
