Many years ago, when indicating righ and turning right while driving a 44 tonne artic, a motorist attempted to squeeze past on the nearside. The rear corner of my trailer on its swing opened up the offside of his car like a blunt can opener. There were many others who witnessed the incident (NOT accident) and who gave statements to the police officers who attended. Long story short; both I and my employer were informed that no further action would be taken. Motorists and those on two wheels, stay away from the rear of trailers when they are turning, whether left or right.
Not a good example. 1st pass you were 2 feet away and turned gradually, 2nd pass you were like 6 inches away and turned hard. It's still a good example to new drivers what could happen with a car next to them as they turn too hard... 🙂
