*The third thing,is that if I pull away from a stop,in a right turn lane to make a turn ( legal in Texas ),at over 8-feet in length ( 2,400mm ),if there is a car to my left waiting at the light,I will rip its right side out with the trailer simply because it does not articulate.
There are a number of "straight" vehicles with this problem. Texas law allows -- in making a right-hand turn -- to move to the lane immediately adjacent up to one-half that lane in order to "cross" the intersection during the turn and enter the appropriate lane without entering the lane of oncoming traffic. (Think of this as from a four lane to two lane turn). One is not ever allowed into oncoming lanes (different from some other states). The trick is to "manage" traffic behind one.
Nice thread (as always)!
