    There is just no help for gross stupidity. So keeping that in mind, aren't we all ready to go to a yard party at that home and sit around in those chairs, enjoying a magical California sunset, perhaps while sipping a glass of wine and nibbling some cheese?:biggrin_2551:

    There was a fire hydrant it looked like right behind the one chair closest to the house, it is a wonder the truck didn't nail it too.

    What the heck is wrong with drivers.All you have to do is look and can see the turn is too tight.Can't believe no signs are posted for trks not to turn there.

    The home owner needs to quit building a patio there till the city does something to stop all the rigs from turning there.

    I don't know the area, but googled the streets and zoomed in. Can't get the little google man on some of the streets because they are too small and restricted also. It looked like whoever it was should not of even been in that area at all, perhaps a place called Global Auto Processing was what I could get to pull up, but some of the roads into there were questionable.

    This is the time someone should be on the phone getting directions to where they are going. Some companies provide some directions to places if they have the info, but it is still good to check those out even.

    Just about to enter a residential neighborhood would make me stop and find out how to get in there.

    If Google can't get their spymobile in there that would be a clue.

    There's plenty of times I've been in pickles like this. Parking and putting on the four ways to figure it out is a good option.

    First, most turns you can just tell, "I can't make that, let me not make this turn." Or, "Wow, I've already started, I'm not going to make it, maybe I should stop and back up?" But, then to just run that stuff over and take off, they knew what they did. It looks like instead of getting a ticket for an accident, they got arrested for a hit and run.
