USA Truck driver performs catastrophic U-Turn attempt.

He's a trainer now!!!!

 

I always wonder what his excuse would be, had he pulled himself out of that mess, and arrived with all the missing/mangled parts....

 

This should be required viewing at all CDL schools.

 

in Ukraine there are bars near low bridges. If truck hit bar, driver knows that bridge is too low for truck, but some drivers ignore safety bars

 

Looks like it almost would of been cheaper to just hit the bridge.

 

Looks like they should have set the bar about 50 yards farther from the bridge. Some of these drivers though no warning system will ever help. Stupid can't be fixed.

 

What! I have a tail swing?

 

This wasnt about tailswing, he jamed his trailer down onto his drive tires, just like setting the brakes your not going anywhere soon. On this one a wrecker would have to pickup the rear of the tractor since there is no way to dig to lower the trailer

 

Better watch and study that Video again. Watch the cars smash into the traffic beside his trailer. Need uneven ground for trailer to rest on drives and I can't see the pavement was anything but level. Absolutely tail swing
