    Actually, USA will keep him and mess up his DAC with this incident so he can't quit and go someplace else for the next couple of years. But if he has other accidents they will be more tempted to let him go. That's the way most companies handle it.

    According to college park ga police.. It's against the law to make a u-turn from the right lane which is what he did...so therefore, it's illegal.. What part of that do you NOT understand...

    Really? That's a serious question? A travel lane is not a turn lane and a turn lane is not a travel lane.

    you must drive the same routes every day

    because if we can only make turns in "turn lanes", we would get no where fast

    when you make a right turn onto a small street, do you ever venture into oncoming traffic? do you ever take up the right two lanes of your side to complete your right hand turn? When turning into a driveway on your left, if there is no left turn lane, do you drive as to the nearest legal turn around and come back and make a right hand turn into that same driveway?
     
    MUSTANGGT and Thomas0810 Thank this.

    No man. When there is an available turn lane you are supposed to use it. Can you make a right turn from the left lane legally? No.

    i do believe in the fmcsa manual, if you need to take up the right two lanes to make a left turn that is perfectly legal, as opposed to a button hook

    Changes the subject a bi, but I was in Carlisle the other day, dropped by the yard and saw a horrendous trailer with its top sheared off. I asked the mechanic what happened and he said a driver ran it under a low clearance bridge. Geesh. Anyone know where this happened at?
