@@PsychobabbleRappbefore doing a turn you always check if it’s clear. you also turn your blinker on. the car might’ve been trying to brake but if it was it would still have been too late. no turn signal means the car was oblivious to what the truck was doing and only noticed when he started turning. also your mother 😊

I'm a truck driver and drove for over 25 years. It's your responsibility to make sure you have your ducks in a row before you call out someone else. Mr truck driver, that was your fault.
After looking at this video a second time. It was the car drivers fault. He did run the stop sign. What the truck driver did was a moot point. In every state in the union requires you to stop before pulling out into ⛔
@fonziecrain7969 so, while its not necessarily the truck drivers fault, the truck driver COULD have done a few more things to mitigate the chances of an accident.....such as.....a turn signal. And look, i get it. There's a LOT going on in that cab when you are trying to take 2 consecutive turns like that. Juggling the shifter, the wheel, and trying to hit the blinker may be a lot goin on. But a signal would have told that car that the truck intended to go right...
@@fonziecrain7969no blinker on the big rig immediately at fault legally, not to mention he clearly did not check mirrors and he also blew a stop sign but that’s unrelated to the actual accident
What are you on about, the accident was avoided. The rig cheching it's mirrors wouldnt have had a quick enough reaction time, he thought he stopped and was the only one there. Yea, use the blinkers, but this is the cars fault.
See when you don’t hit your blinkers they won’t know. Oh my goodness people the flashing lights do not mean turn signals. Even if they were they should be yellow not white
@@mikeznel6048oh yeah let me just never ever pass a truck on the off chance they might be preparing to make a wide turn. How would I ever know he wants to make a wide turn. Hm. Someone should invent some kind of signal to indicate you want to turn. Sounds like a million dollar idea to me!
As a truck driver and trainer myself, I can confirm that this fail falls on the truck driver 100%. First, the truck driver did not signal. 2nd the truck driver did not make sure the coast was clear. Third, improper lane change. And finally we are supposed to be highly specialized and skilled drivers. We have more training then your average everyday driver. Where are the guardians of the road. We have a responsibility to make sure that we do everything in our power to make the roads the safest possible. That includes but is not limited to sending steering wheel holders like this one back for a refresher course. I can't tell you how many times I have run into old truck dogs like myself who do a bunch of sketchy s***. We become comfortable and complacent. We have the mindset of, " I know what I'm doing, I know what my truck can do, this is my road and I'm bigger than you. So get out of my way." Most of us who have been on the road as long as I have and are driving trucks like this one, which apparently is an owner operator, have forgotten more than most newer drivers have even learned. Which in some ways makes us more dangerous than a new driver. I have a challenge for every driver out there. Go retake the knowledge, skills, and pre-trip test again for the heck of it. See just how much you really have forgotten.
Very true. Got my class A last month and they have even dumbed down the pre-trip as well. You don't have to check belts or know by name engine parts or steering parts.
Exactly, I'm not a truck but have been driving 15 yrs......to this day I still treat everyone on the road as an idiot.......that way when someone does something stupid I'm ready for it (I'll admit I make the odd error myself I'm not perfect and fully accept I'm that idiot I'm looking out for to somebody else on the road
@@ZX6R_Lone_Wanderer those things may not be required to pass the test but my trainees do not get into their own truck until they can name and inspect everything. If the government will not do their job when they give out licenses like candy bars, I will do my part to make sure the roads are safe.
My dad drove over the road my whole life and I’ve driven locally in the past and you are exactly right. My dad used to tell me “even when the trucker is in the right in an accident, he’s still sometimes in the wrong because he’s the professional and should have known better”
@@PeakBruvTo be fair no one says "let me turn on my turn signal real quick" either. No one says "let me use my accelerator real quick" "let me use my brakes real quick". No one announces every single thing they're doing unless they're a super anxious driver. Basically my point is, it's not a big deal. OP muddled his words up a bit then you wrote 3 unnecessary comments about it.
@@PeakBruv I was addressing your behaviour in the hopes that you would learn from this and move on. Unlike you who unnecessarily went off on a guy who just muddled his words up. Imagine if he has dyslexia and then you just start going off on him and making fun of the way he talks.
@@PeakBruv What exactly does that say about me? I didn't say he was for sure dyslexic, just that it was a possibility to make a point. Dyslexia also does translate into typing as well. Dyslexia is a neurological disability which affects someone's ability to speak, read, and write, so it's not like typing magically absolves dyslexia. OP could also just not be a native English speaker, dyslexia isn't the only cause for muddled up words.
1. He did run that stop sign since they didn't stop. Also no slowing down to a crawl doesn't count. 2. The flashing headlights are blinkers. 3.It is a GOD DAMN SEMI they can't do 0 degree turns. They have and need to make extremely wide turns. Which can and most cases will cause the blinker to turn off.
@@The_Jragonthe flashing headlights are not blinkers, they are headlights. Have you literally never seen that before? Some headlights on video flash for whatever reason
Bro that car DID RUN a stop sign! Bruce also had his turn signal on & that car is at fault!! Bruce was also making a wide turn into his destination but yet you’re not a truck driver so
As a retired trucker, especially in heavy hauls. The trucker, regardless his intentions is still at fault. He exited the far left lane into a driveway without use of turn signals. I understand his plight, and I've been there many times, I use my turn signals regardless.
@@nickpatrick1636 no right just cause you have to make a wide turn doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look who is in the other lane. It’s like going into a lane
Before making a turn, especially a wide turn from a left lane, it is always the truck driver's responsibility to ensure that turn is safe. That's why you have rear view mirrors.
@@Monty-hy5hz I guess if the driver (like most) is sitting so low they can barely see over their steering wheel. I personally sit really high in my truck. I like seeing over you and everything else. Also those round fisheye mirrors pretty much eliminate blind spots. I use them to pull onto roads from an angle I can't otherwise see from my passenger side.
Ya I take up both lanes, use signal, and check them mirrors. I been hauling salt in Chicago lately and I've had people honking, yelling, cussing.... I just turn up the radio😂😂😂
The truck driver was in the inside lane after his turn. The truck must wait for an opening before attempting to change lanes AND HE MUST SIGNAL TO LET THE RIGHT LANE DRIVERS KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS. TRUCK IS DEFINITELY AT FAULT. NOW, IF IN FACT THE CAR RAN THE STOP SIGN, THAT WOULD BE A SEPARATE VIOLATION AND CHARGE IN AND OF ITSELF.
On a wide right turn, from the left lane, a truck driver must signal their intentions AND SEE IF THE COAST IS CLEAR. Those big West Coast mirrors are on a semi for a reason. Suck it up buttercup.
@@glub__blub the camera was operating at a framerate that doesn't properly displace the turn signal. Also most toddlers even understand that semis utilize both lanes for wide right turns. Seeing that a truck is making a button hook shaped maneuver from a distance should be a clear enough indicator that you probably should yield for 1 second. But instead, the average car driver is a down syndrome retard with their face buried in their phone while theyre cruising down the road.
Professional driver here. I can confirm the truck was in the wrong. Occasionally we do need to occupy both lanes or turn from the outside lane for clearance, but he did not use his indicator and if he was watching his mirrors that wouldn’t have happened. I can easily see when a car is accelerating up on me and know whether or not I have ample time to safely make a turn. Be safe guys.
People are so smart! Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Look lemme break this down to you, you're coming up on a 18 wheeler that just turned infront of you WITH THEIR SIGNAL ON and you choose to fly up on them anyway, common sense would tell you, he's turning in on the far side of the road. Slow tf down and have some common courtesy. Its never a good idea to zoom past any slow moving semi but here we are, with people arguing the dumb fuck in the car did nothing wrong
@@emiliotamayo3256 ah yes next time I'm making a turn like this, I'll just force everyone out of the lane onto the shoulder. Ta-daa, the lane is now clear!
It’s a big ass peterbilt, you have to use a few lanes to make a tight turn like that dumbass. Completely legal. But you’re right about the signal and he should check mirrors before turning.
A. Your turn signal wasn’t on B. When a truck is making a wide right turn from the left lane it is the duty of the truck driver to make sure the coast is clear, not the job of traffic to stop. Therefore, he did not almost hit you, you almost hit him.
This is the most Karen answer I have ran across. Common sense goes a long way. The car obviously knew they would have to wait on him to turn. Thats why it sped past the way it did. How about stop acting entitled on the road and being negative. That would solve more problems than you think. I would've hit the car if I were in that truck. Let it be a lesson learned
He was making a complicated turn. People need to be patient with semis. No other explanation. He should have let the semi fully complete the turn before making any moves. He could have pulled out but stayed behind until the thing straightens out. At no point was it in a lane for travel. It was widening it turn. I can see it from a mile away. But most people can’t. So be patient. They can’t see as well as we can. And they have a 20,000
The semi completed their turn, they were fully in the left lane. I agree its not worth testing and doing a 3000 vs 20,000 pound vehicle collision, but truck driver was in the wrong, he absolutely did not have right of way. Just cause you are driving a heavier vehicle doesn't mean you aren't beholden to the rules of the road, dude is damn lucky the sedan managed to avoid him this could have ended his commercial license and entire career. Have patience for tiny vehicles, put your goddamn indicators on and keep them on for at least 10 seconds you clown, people are stupid and regular cars aren't gonna hurt you, you will be facing vehicular manslaughter charges for the minivan of children your negligence decapitated.@@spray_cheese

@@user-gz2gq2jq9z poor attempt at humour. Now supposing those signals failed, right at the critical moment, then drivers would then have to revert to some kind of situational awareness, but who needs that with your wild new invention, right?
Yes! My dad's a truck driver has been driving for 20+ years So I would know a little something. As a matter of fact you are correct however the truck driver was already pulling out He's all the way out in the road so he probably already checked before that car came, in the video you can see it slowly pulling up as the truck is already out in the middle of the clear road. and you can see that his load is quite heavy. So as this dude is turning the truck the car takes the opportunity to go in between him turning, accelerating almost causing collision and crashing into the truck driver. in the situation the truck is absolutely not in the wrong, but however in this situation it is indeed the car's fault For being impatient and being reckless if they would have been hit it would indeed be the cars fault. If I'm going to be honest the truck driver has some amazing reflexes! not to mention how cool his semi looks He did the right thing in this situation. And by the way.. Yes the car did have a stop sign lol
Semi looks at fault here. Semi drivers are always supposed to yield because you hold huge loads of liability that can kill. Semi driver went from left turn into left lane and evidently tried crossing over a lane to take a right into a parking lot which I don't think legal
The truck already occupied both lanes. Blinker or not semis actually has a law the protects them in this situation. Impatience is how people end up at fault. Read your driver's manuals. Truck drivers can take up to 3 lanes in narrow streets.
Sketchy as in making a right turn exit off the road from the left lane as opposed to from the right lane in this case? The problem is drivers license bureaus don't educate Class C Drivers License holders enough about how a truck might be making a right turn in this case for example. Maybe the car shouldn't have run the stop sign in the first place. The truck driver didn't expect the car to be there yet because he thought he would still be at the stop sign or nearer to it still. Yes the truck should always use turn signal in such a situation too though and should check his mirrors too always. He probably did see him coming in his mirrors but the problem is that brakes on a truck respond a little slower than on a car.
1. There's no stop sign 2. There's no turn signals used 3. No mirrors were checked ''Ladies and gentlemen that makes the semi truck liable for all the damages that could've been caused''
@@Akosa117you clearly don’t know how trucking works or what they are able to do while driving. It would’ve been the trucks fault but it would’ve also been funny to see that car get fucked up because of their stupid decision to go at that moment.

@@Dave-qw6om Never saw a right turn signal. Even though you have to occupy both lanes to do so, it’s not on other drivers to know what you’re going to do before you do it. Truck driver immediately goes into that right turn. Even then he doesn’t even cut the wheel the other way, just blows his horn.
@@dierdred_the_grayhe didn't have his hazards on. what you're seeing is led lights flashing through the camera. You can clearly see the turn signals by the air filters
Have you ever heard of the term wide turn? Trucks tend to make those Edit: people seem to be thinking I'm defending the lack of use of indicators. I am NOT defending the truck driver for not using turn signals, however the truck is physically unable to turn without being in the left lane.
@@ItzBIULD whether a vehicle has the ability to make the turn doesn't matter. A vehicle has to indicate to vehicles behind them where they are going. It's the rules of the road for everyone. To everyone behind him, without a blinking everyone thinks he's going straight
Turning right from the left lane, you always make sure nobody is on your right. Just because he ran a stop sight a 1/4 mile down the road doesn’t mean anything.
And the funny thing about that is I didn't even see a stop sign when I looked back at the video so he's double liable if they were to have gotten into an accident
You obviously don't drive rigs that truck has a short turning ratios it needs both lanes to safely make a right turn. The driver of the car has no patience to wait to see if that truck is turning
@@roberthodgin3201 I actually do drive semis Robert. Have spent most of my career navigating roadways in commercial vehicles. Guess what? I always make sure nothing is coming up the side of me before I takeover a lane of traffic. That is why I’ve never had that happen.
I do not know y any questions about this incident it is so obvious that it's the trucks fault drivers can b alittle considerate toards large vehicles but that doesn't mean the drivers of large vehicles should driver without due care and attention, and its not a car it's a truck and a large one at that
Here's an actual answer from someone with a law enforcement background: There doesn't appear to be a stop sign, but almost every state requires a complete stop before entering a roadway from a parking lot or private property, even without a sign. However, even if there was a stop sign, it would be completely irrelevant because the near collision was not a direct result of them not stopping at a location you had already passed. In this case, even if the car hit the truck, it is 100% the truck's fault for one specific reason. Wide turns for semis are permitted in most locations depending on traffic and road conditions, but get this.... You still have to use a blinker. The entire purpose of a blinker is to warn other drivers of your intentions, which you did not do. They were driving lawfully in their lane and had the right of way for that lane. Your failure to signal caused them to leave their lane to avoid a collision, and could've gotten you at least one citation. Non LEO answer: You don't own the road and get to do whatever you want just because you're bigger. Use a fucking turn signal and stop blaming your fuckups on everyone else like most semi drivers do.
You forgot the part when even using a turn signal doesn't give anyone ROW, it's an indication of turning/changing lanes. If a truck is going to turn across a lane from the outside lane even with a turn signal he must check his mirror and make sure there's no vehicles in the lane or he's going to cut off.
You're right about this minor traffic interaction. But citing a law enforcement background as credibility is ridiculous. Cops know the least about the law but are the most egotistical. Just cause you're a pig doesn't mean you know anything about the law.

in order to make the turn he has to go wide. So since he just came out of a turn going wide he had to go wide again on the far side of his next turn resulting in being across of the entrance he wanted to go into. That means he was naturally going to be in the ‘wrong’ lane to cross into the entrance. I see what your saying but that’s a little more info for why the truck driver did what he dud
@@GarrettIngle i know why he did it. My comment was mostly about how the driver just assumed nobody would be in that lane. You have to look before turning no matter what your turn radius is
@nativeoutdoors1780 I think everyone is missing the fact that he swung wide into the right lane, then moves to left lane to start turn. His trailer is most likely still blocking his vision in the right lane as well as blocking the lane itself (notice car is passing on shoulder). I highly doubt the driver saw him until he stopped on that dime. Obviously, most of you have never hauled a trailer, let alone one over 30 feet long.
@@FuckTheATF. whats funny is I have, I understand the trouble, im just saying I always check because I don't want this very thing to happen to me haha. Like when two lanes open to three and you go to the new lane, I always check to make sure noone is taking the shoulder of the road, just good defensive driving. Obviously I don't hope the truck driver would be responsible for anything but I do think sometimes we just expect things to be blocking roads so we go without looking
@nativeoutdoors1780 I understand that, but it honestly looks like the driver can not see down the side of the truck until he turns into the turn enough. He is faced too far away for the mirror to get the correct angle until the very last second. I'd say as fast as he stopped, he was trying his best to see anyone coming from his right side while he was "blind". Just my 25 cents!

@@Hexharlowhere in texas, the trucker MUST take both lanes before making a wide turn like that, that means put your blinker on, yield the right of way to the vehicles on the other lane, then spliting the lane and make your turn. This trucker did not yield the right of way to the car driving in the lane, that automatically would of put the blame on the trucker and he would of gotten cited for failure to yield right of way from lane change. The stop sign is irrelevant to the cituation. Now lets say the trucker successfully would of yielded the right of way and wait until it is safe to split the lane, and then proceeded to turn and then struck a car on the #2 lane, the car would be at fault because the trucker would of had the right of way ( but in the video the trucker didn't).
@@CrowSpirit1977no? idk what you mean by “unusual”, but no sane truck driver turns right from a left lane without indicating and without checking if a car is approaching on the right.
