    I'm still after watching this for the 5th time trying to figure out why he didn't back out or simply stop there with the 4 ways on and handle the situation from there. That would've been the easiest thing to do IMO. Then again I drive a baot for a truck. I don't attempt to make u turns. I can't turn around in 3 lanes of traffic Bob tailing let alone turn around on a 2 lane road with a 53. Its a shame stupidity exists in the world like it does. I believe government microchips should be implanted in people like this and there should be an app for cell phones so they can be tracked so we know when they're around. Just my .02

    He panicked, probably due to lack of training and experience.

    I'd rather ask the police for help and pay the potential ticket than do this to a truck. :biggrin_25521:

    Still..no excuse..i mean to turn the truck and cause damage the first time is one thing...but its quite obvious this driver has NO clue or any sense whatsover...he knew he wasnt turning around but still insisted on doing anyway while tearing the truck apart..he may have lack of training about he certaiky lacks any common sense and any amount to even drive that truck.

    Wow

    I am speechless

    I do not understand why the second guy did not just get out and direct traffic and help him back into the intersection where he could probably turn around.
