2nd time in a month a guy c Lee truck has been involved in a wreck. Lumber prices from them are about to go up to pay for these wrecks
Yes. That is how it works. /s
People who drive the cars should already know that these big rigs that has a trailer on them know these big rigs big right turns. Majority most of the big rigs have a yellow sticker that say, “CAUTION MAKE WIDE RIGHT TURNS.” I’ll have to say that it’s the driver of the car is at fault in the accident.
I agree. Even when driving a car with plenty of room to make a left turn it seems some drivers speed up instead of slowing down or atleast backing down to the posted speed limit.
