I have always been nervous about trucks turning tight corners since a friend's baby got run over in his stroller by one that jumped the sidewalk while turning. :( (He is perfectly fine, by the way, four years old and no problems!! Praise God for miracles.) You would think huge trucks like that would require more thoughtfully chosen routes!!

I've hand much lesser versions of that happen- when I'm stopped at a light and a big ol truck is making a turn but forgetting it is not the size of a matchbox car. Your version is waaay more realistic!

Paula, I ma...thank you all! Thank God we are fine!<br /><br />Paula, I may have to be more careful with trucks and watching for this. It's hard here as we are in the city where the speed limit is 25mph and if I don't go all the way to the edge of the road, that is before the walk way for people, I will invariably get honked at as NJ is the place of aggressive cranky drivers! but at least I am driving!!! elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-14239512159923437132015-03-20T20:21:29.265-04:002015-03-20T20:21:29.265-04:00So glad you guys are OK.

Trucks (and their loads) are so big and corners are so tight they don't have a choice but take the far lane too. I always try to watch for the big guys turning and stay back from the intersection. Hope you feel better from your scare soon.
