Bicyclist killed in collision with 18-wheeler in Fayetteville

...ppl (bikes, little cars) will try to sneak in on the truck's right side even tho the driver has right-turn blinker ON for a right-turn on green light! The driver must always be aware of that scenario and look out for!!! And, if possible (wont help in a bicyclist's case--too skinny!) try to block that from happening by angling the trlr..

 

Yep, I had that happen to me once so far. I had my right turn signal on and was making a right turn, about when I was about to enter that road, i saw something moved in my mirror in my corner of my eye. I saw a ####### trying to pass me, and I had to hit my brakes. The ####### stopped where I could not even complete the turn without my trailer running over him. I just sat there til he moved out of my way. My heart was beating harder and I was pissed off of how dumb people are. People don't seem to care of what could have happen if I decided to run his car down. I seen where truckers have did it on purpose, but the car driver was charged for the accident. I don't think I could really do it on purpose if the car did try passing me that way.

 

I run into this all the time and I drive a box truck.
4 wheelers and truckers included, run with turn signals on. Then never turn. Or it seems like never.
So drivers just assume the driver can see them and it snowballs. Next thing you know signals are forgotten about or not taken serious.
