  • A truck driver in the right lane attempted a right-hand turn by turning extremely wide. The truck crossed two lanes to the left, entering the oncoming traffic lane over a double yellow line. It then continued the turn, cutting through the middle lane and crossing another set of double yellow lines into the right lane.
    Very dangerous driving by the semi driver!
    Video was in Streetsboro Ohio. Recorded with a Viofo A229 pro dash cam.

    Im not understanding how you could possibly blame the truck? The truck has a large load you can't make a small turn, it would take out the poles. The truck has to make a wide turn to not hit the curb. Watch how close the back wheels are to the curb when it finally turns, now think where thise back tires would be if it had not done the wide turn. Swallow your pride and think about it. You are in the wrong here because the truck had blinker on before starting the turn. There are to many people on the road who are in such a hurry now days they don't bother to think.

    You keep mentioning in comments that the truck crossed multiple lanes and can’t do that. Onio motor vehicle code states that a right turn must be done “as close as practicable” to the right hand curb. If that involves utilizing multiple lanes it is permissible to do so. A quick internet search shows that even law firms that specialize in milking money from trucking companies for accidents will show that if there was an accident there you would be at a minimum partially responsible, if not entirely responsible.
    “In a truck wide-right-turn accident, fault is not always straightforward. While the truck driver may be the most obvious party to blame, other factors may be at play. One common factor is the position of the other vehicle. If a car attempts to pass the truck on the right while the truck is making a wide-right turn, the car may be at fault for not giving the truck enough space to complete the turn safely. In this situation, the driver may be cited for failure to yield or reckless driving.”

Safe drivers will avoid the truck’s No-Zones and wait to assess the truck driver’s intent before passing. As a general rule, avoid passing trucks while turning and never pass them on the right side."

    You were in the wrong. Here's the clue: when he pulls to the left, but has his directional indicating he is going right, assume he is going right. The truck has a long trailer and he needs the room to make that turn. Give way and give space to large trucks; they cannot make turns or other manuvers like a car does.
