When transport trucks make people panic
At a stop sign, an Audi is sitting behind a GMC when a transport truck starts coming in for a left turn. Plenty of room, normal situation… until the GMC panics and slams into reverse, right into the Audi.
Here’s the thing. Those trucks are built for tight turns. The driver should know what they’re doing. You don’t need to play hero or start guessing moves at a red light. Stay calm, stay put, and let the truck do its job. Unless you're encroaching on a lane or walkway, you shouldn't panic. Even then, think before making a move.
And if you are going to throw it in reverse, at least look behind you first. One bad reaction turned a non situation into an accident real quick. Relax, pay attention, and stop creating problems that weren’t there to begin with.
