    #### right. The jig jack jug supremo should only be used between 12-2 am. Because if it doesn’t go right, you’ll at least get a beer out of it from last call.

    How to make a right turn?

    Read this thread if you have oh, I dunno, about three day of uninterrupted time! Very entertaining!

    I learned driving through Chicago you gotta hog two lanes sometimes. Otherwise you will drag your tandems over stop signs and such. Just hog both lanes when you gotta make tight right turns. It's legal. Split the lane. Let people behind you honk. They don't have a CDL, you do.

    If it's just one car, I'll start the turn and stop right in front of them. They always back up for me. Then I wave as I finish the turn to say thanks. Most people I have encountered so far seem to get it to some extent. If it's more than one car then I just sit there and wait.. building up a whole parade of cars behind me. It's great.

    If you are like me and you have to drive to a lot of locations in dense urban areas then look up the location on your google satellite before hand and plan your approach. Double check your GPS and make sure it's on the same page as you. Say to yourself, OK the truck entrance to this strip mall is just past the Wendy's on XYZ street. That way you don't pass it and end up turning into the parking lot where the 4-wheelers drive in. There you'll just end up jumping curbs and earn a lot of attention you don't want.

    37 posts and still can't figure out how a Qualcomm unit is at fault for hitting a curb on a right turn.

    Instead of making a right turn, try making 3 lefts.
