I personally doubt it, after watching the video - sun position.
What do you think?
I usually come to a dead stop before that maneuver, but did you see the speed involved?

I was hoping this to be the riff raff that kept me up most of the night in Salt Lake City the other night. A whole gang of them out street racing for hours.
truckdriver31 Thanks this. -
Bunch of morons tearin up some hard workin truck drivers way of makin a livin. That bumper was torn off and went flying probably a quarter mile down the road...
Bud A., tommymonza and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
While I certainly don't approve of these peoples actions, I think the trucker should have looked. Granted, they were going way too fast to be avoided, but I was always really careful on wide turns like that. Looks like the trucker just went for it. Granny doesn't know where you are turning. This? Justice served. Nothing new. People been street racing and crashing into things for generations.
D.Tibbitt, truckdriver31 and GoneButNotForgotten Thank this. -
Except we’re not dealing with a granny here-we’re dealing with two cars that were street racing,plus the semi had its 4 ways activated,as he had to “J-hook” his turn. In addition to the tree looks like the white SUV parked next to it(looks like a Hyundai Tucson or Santa Fe) took a hit from both vehicles as well!! In addition the black car also took out a fire hydrant!

Once you make that turn the mirror is innefective. The driver had swung wide. The driver wouldnt be able to see the cars as his mirror would be looking at the deck of the trailer. Nope, cant hold the driver responsible on this one.
D.Tibbitt, Bud A., truckdriver31 and 3 others Thank this. -
Nobody street races in anything cool anymore. Sigh.
201, D.Tibbitt, AModelCat and 1 other person Thank this.
