Sorry, morality has nothing to do with it, the legally responsiblity in that and other cases have been with the one who caused the stoppage and the court agreed with that fact.
You seem to think this has to do with being able to get out and you have no culpibility but you have. IF you are a cause of an accident when you operate irresponibility then you need to deal with it. The real problem is while this is a common practice with some drivers, especially in the recent years, many think they have a truck and own the road.
Ever deliberately stopped in the middle of the street to make a turn?

Yes. I am inquisitive. If I wasn't inquisitive, I wouldn't even bother coming to this message board.Crude Truckin' Thanks this. -
Bud A. and Crude Truckin' Thank this.

Do whatever it takes to not have a wreck. Hitting something or someone is always a worse option. The traffic will forget you stopped them 5 minutes later.
Bud A. and blairandgretchen Thank this. -

Stopped traffic.
Do it all day long at one intersection.
Make the turn at an angle like the pic. NEVER done that.
Going out straight and turn gives the trailer more spacing then doing it at an angle. Running over the curb.
I was taught to pretend kids are there. And to not run em over. OP's pic would result in manslaughter charges. (Kidslaughter)
Most cars do actually have a brain and will wait for the trailer to make the turn. Knowing that if they tried to turn inside the trailer. They'll get ran over. But occasionally an idiot does it. And they get trapped. -
Why would any of us drivers pass up an opportunity to inconvenience cars during their travels.
Lumper Humper and blairandgretchen Thank this.
