    Same here, that's about all it boils down to. I made my assumption on the lack of properly setting himself up for the turn, but at the end of the day that's irrelevant had he been watching his mirrors. If he was, and figured he'd try to get through the ditch, then said driver needs to reevaluate his driving decisions. Maybe I'm overly critical of myself, but I watch my mirrors like a hawk when turning, even if the turn isn't what would be deemed as "tight."

    Tripesix, you are right and that is what I told my other driver, if he was watching his turn via mirrors, it would merely ended up as a minor embarrassment and a need to back out of a failed turn. And now it is a major disaster.
