Popular Post sweatalot Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) U-turn again. Big trailer making a u-turn thus blocking the whole street. No lights on the side, so not easy to see in the dark. And the pick up driver, in the middle of the night may be dui, streets empty (he thought) - high speed - bang Truck driver may be dui, too Probably would not have happened if they had a better solution than u-turns Edited November 15, 2020 by sweatalot 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have, stops the car from going under the rear of the trailer, I'm sure most trailers in western countries have them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
