Right-hand Turns

Always pay close attention to truck turn signals. Many car drivers do not realize that a truck approaching an intersection to make a right turn may move to the left to avoid running the trailer onto the curb. As the truck moves left, a narrow, temporary lane is created to its right. At this point, the driver of a car may move up on the right side of the truck and become vulnerable to a "squeeze" when the truck swings into its right turn.
