Third

On he way home just past 35th Ave. traffic was stopped at railroad crossing. Apparently they had been there awhile cars starting to do the u-turn thing. A semi decides he's waited long enough and he starts to turn around 53' trailer and all. So what happens with the back end of a trailer when making a u-turn. It swings into the line of cars next to it yep hitting some lucky person. The vehicle that got hit had for sale painted on the window. That's when I decided to do the u-turn thing. Trailer had both East bound and 1 1/2 westbound lanes blocked.
Didn't even go shooting.

  1. You would have thought he knew about tail swing. We noticed with the hi-lo that it has one too, not as bad as a school bus. They tell us we need to be a min of 3 feet from the object we would like to clear. I prefer 5-6 feet, even at intersections making a left.
