um.... correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s legal to pass a left turning vehicle on the right? Even on a two lane. Not defending the lady as she was obviously impatient.
Also, the truck veered right for no reason, so that doesn’t help his situation in my opinion. That is known as a jug handle turn and that is not the correct way to turn. My two cents LOLD.Tibbitt Thanks this. -

It's legal to pass on the right IF
The left turning vehicle...
A: has the left turn signal on
AND.
B; Has stopped or slowed.
AND
C: It's SAFE to do so..D.Tibbitt and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
If there’s a lane it’s legal, illegal on the shoulder. Hard to tell if that’s considered one or two lanes. Truck really didn’t need to swing right, looks like he had plenty room, he almost hit the car.

He may have also been moving to the right giving that other truck was pulling out of the driveway a little extra room

I stand by my opinion that the truck was in the wrong here. The text on the dashcam footage says, “she claimed our driver hit her while turning.” And that’s pretty much exactly what happened.
And for what it’s worth, I turn the same way all the time, but I at least make sure no one is next to me when I do it.D.Tibbitt and lovesthedrive Thank this.
