    You get fired at my company for u-turns and I agree with them.

    I hope this results in prison time for the truck driver. Totally inexcusable.

    There is a safe way to do those, although this definitely is not one of them.

    "The driver of the semi and the passenger, both men in their 20s from California"

    This is the result of inexperienced, young drivers who have always had everyone making decisions for them and now not being able to make common sense decisions on their own and have never had to suffer the consequences for their actions.

    Hard lessons.........

    I'm sure the 2 hajis blamed the cars for running into their trailer.. These people come over and fling their #### everywhere then get mad when you call them out when I don't want #### flung all over me.. Time for ice to run through the trucking industry and send these morons back across the pond.

    This idiot obviously didn't check his mirrors before beginning his turn. But he shouldn't have been making a u-turn anyway, he should have gotten off at the next exit, done the flip, and then gotten back on going the other way.

    I hope they revoke his CDL. People who are that careless have no business driving any kind of vehicle, especially not a commercial vehicle.
