What in the world is a buttonhook?
Half the turns I make on a daily basis , involve splitting 2 or more lanes . Some guys like to bang over curbs and knock the trailer out of alignment. Sometimes it's impossible to avoid.... I guess my way is illegal to block multiple lanes to turn

If you do a jughandle turn, do it slowly and watch your mirrors like a hawk. I saw a truck that did a wide right turn into a driveway. A motorcyclist very unwisely tried to pass him on the right. It didn't turn out to well for the motorcyclist. I don't think he was dead but life was really going to suck for awhile.

Ironic a guy who posts as much "silliness" as he does, is calling out someone else.
I use silliness to be nice. Him, the wolf guy, and that other guy, whose name I can't recall.. should all just merge threads to keep the humor and sarcasm in one place.
I bet it didn't take Knightcrawler ten years to realize backing up on a public road might not be the wisest thing because you know...other vehicles and all.
But hey, it's entertaining. With everyone posting it's a lot less work on me to do the mocking/jokes/etc.
Now we just need Ilovetequila, and the Jesus guy with the 2000 dollar a month electric bill, to join in.
