Truck Smart Module 5 - Trucks Make Wide Turns

Have you ever seen a semi-truck pull into the left lane to make a right turn? This is because they make really wide turns as they need a lot of room to clear their trailer around the corner. To make sure you don’t get caught in that space look for their blinker and wait behind them until they have moved. Never pull past the white stopping lines at intersections either. When you crowd the intersection, you risk being in the way of a big truck’s path because they need more space when turning.
