How do you judge a right turn ?

Just turn until you feel the truck jerk or hear something break. Then keep going. If you see flashing blue lights behind you after a turn, you're dong it right.

 

On turns, you may even have to wait through a cycle if you're smart enough to let a left turn lane open up. LOL, those people that stop in front of the white stop line quickly figure out why the line is there when a truck starts to make a turn. Also there are some people who are very wise and courteous and stay way back until you complete the turn. I appreciate those individuals.

 

Always GUILTY...unless close to downtown...then you plead the 5th!

 

Had to take the turn I posted earlier in this thread. Normally I bypass it with a different route. But the road was closed, I assume due to flooding.

I had the tandems all the way forward, swung left into the left turn lane to make the right. The tandems still clipped the curb by about 4 feet...

Using the oncoming left turn lane is rarely an option. It is available maybe 10% of the time.

don't forget your signal

 

Some places, the drivers even notice a turn signal!!!

Put me in the camp that takes all the room that is available. Lines don't mean anything to me. Pull a 53 spread or worse yet a DD in Pennsylvania and you will you get the drift.

 

Right turns should be made slowly, carefully, and you should stop if there is any doubt in your mind.

In my opinion, particularly in town, the best right turn is three left turns.

 

Just wtf are you telling the man?
