    Happened on some of the older, smaller streets of Asheville, NC. Driver really wasn't THAT close to making the turn....

    Not really that bad of a turn, he just did it wrong. He may have had to wait on cars to give him some room to make the turn, but it is no tighter than ones in NJ, NY, MA....

    I don't know for sure, as it's been almost 5 years since I lived in Asheville, but there may also be a "No Trucks" sign for that street posted as well....

    But, yes...it is no worse than some small town turns in OH, IN, IA, or any of the other states...

    This is true but honestly i worked for them and it wasnt that bad, its just the majority of newbies cant take a OTR job so they quit or get fired.

    hmmm wanna bet there was a good looking girl on the opposite corner--???--when a nice set of legs competes against a turn--the legs always win

    Driver didn't see the big picture. The building overhang is almost even with sidewalk edge. Driver should have known he couldn't even touch the sidewalk with tandems.
