    I passed that Loves this morning. There were two trucks parked on the should by it but no stunt driving going in. They really should put a "car stop" sign or something up, it's kind of deceiving.

    Fight or Flight kicked in. I think some drivers get them selves into a predicament, and instead of thinking logically they freak out and are like a rabbit trying to lose a predator, squeezing through barb wire even though the rabbit cuts itself all it wants to do is get away. I think this happens to some drivers they get them selves into a spot they aint sposed to be in and all they are focused on is getting back on the big road..........STAY CALM.....all is well.

    i've had to call local police on more than one occasion to back out of a bad spot.... you may have to sit awhile because it is a non emergency .... but i've never been ticketed for asking to avoid an accident....

    I could have made that turn! :biggrin_255:
    This is gonna ding driver's DAC fer sure...

    Beware: Quick Trips are shown/listed on many of the smart phone trucker apps now, which isn't very smart.
    O'course, you've got to be smarter than the apps in your smart phone.

    From the pictures it looks like he could've made if he stayed far left against the curb. He must've been driving thru there too fast and not paying attention
