Company Road Test Coming Up (Need Some Tips!)

STransport said: ↑

I guess I get a little worried thinking about what to do if there is traffic blocking you from completing the turn.
Watching it again it seems you could also say he waited until his the passenger side mirror met up the double yellow line before starting his turn.
So using that as a guide might also work in some cases.

1) That's a good idea. See if I can get a feel of it before staring the road test

2) I got the left turn lane down (always outside). I think the one video suggested using the inside right turn lane because if you used the outside right turn lane the trailer may off-track into the inside right lane during your turn.

3) That was just a basic guide for when to start making turns my driving school gave us. Guess it might not apply everywhere.

4) This situation is my biggest fear. Traffic blocking your from making a wide right turn to complete it safely.

This makes no sense. The trailer will off track regardless if turning right or left. If turning right and you stay in the right most turn lane, you will have to let your trailer jump the curb and hit pedestrians, signs, poles, etc. Or you'll have to take your cab into the left right turn lane and run into cars. Either option from the right most turn lane is not good.
