    We both know the real crime here is the straps and not the fact that he backed into the pickup twice and rearranged the salvation army boxes and what looks like possibly a mailbox at the very end or just the yard. LOL

    I saw this a few days ago on YT. I just shake my head at the stupidity of some "professional" drivers.

    I think the real crimes here are:

    1. That moron should not have parked his truck in the way.

    2. The Salvation Army boxes should not have been placed in the way.

    See a pattern here? Other people conspired to put their crap in the way. Otherwise, he would have had enough room. :rolleyes:

    I don’t seee how the truck is at fault. It’s obvious those Salvation Army bins were put in the wrong place..And the parked vehicle could have parked somewhere else.

    I think I might have spoken towards this little turnaround.

    I keep thinking that's a pretty ballsy move with that spread axle trying to take advantage of that forward axle lifting the rear up for tight turning. You can pivot almost on that forward axle.

    The problem all those people put all that stuff and vehicles in the way. Much less the people who built that roadway neglected to have proper shoulders and so on. Tsk, so much to deal with. The overturned bins is no harm done just a little wet in the next rain and that little pick up got his front end work done proper considering the rust covering it. I say it's a good day to be turning around there.

    (*NOTE... this last paragraph is written with sarcastic.)
