re: the log truck. Yes, I do see such things commonly. The rear dolly wheels are remotely steerable to enable tighter turns than would be possible with standard fixed wheels. Many oversize loads use these, although you can't tell just by looking unless you know exactly what to look for.

Still, I grade that driver a nine point eight for difficulty.

Maybe stupid. Maybe just ignorant.

I suspect they have learned their lesson with this particular danger. Too bad they didn't learn it in driver's ed.

When a truck driver is making a turn like that do they normally glance in their side view mirror to see if some fool is trying to squeeze by?

I'm not saying they are required to. Just - is it common to do so?
