    Well if someone cuts in on the right, then just stop and wait for them to move. If you stay too close to the curb, you'd have to cut even further into oncoming traffic if the road isn't wide enough on the street you're turning on to.

    I learned on a 40's era 17 foot and about a late 50's two axle white daycab.

    The big stuff came later on after school and Class A (Before CDL in those days)

    Just take the room you need. 53's are easier and 100's even more easy. //snark
