    You'd be surprised at how many trucks try to run the parkways in NYC and Long Island. This was from Long Island a few years ago. image.jpg

    A double set two truck lengths. I can do it but it is doubtful under the pressure of waiting traffic.

    The Skagit River bridge in I-5?

    That wasn't entirely that driver's fault. The genius driving the pilot car should have warned him.

    The likely scenario there is they'll stop all traffic at the tollbooth so he could spin around in a circle to get back to the exit.

    Guys pulling pups are mostly smart enough to not try and go that way though. I've never seen a set stopped there.

    Looked like Great Britain to me. Given that the truck was LHD. I'm guessing it was a continental driver in the UK and got totally lost.

    I can't imagine not only crossing a border but having to switch sides of the road.
