Whilst we cannot be certain on the exact circumstances I do observe many drivers who do not seem to have a clue as to the turning requirements of large vehicles. It is extremely worrying.

Should be implemented into theory tests imo.

me being a saddo i looked on google maps where it happened
could have been poor positioning by the lorry driver. sometimes you have to take up both lanes to prevent things like this. it's never popular but better than this sort of thing happening.

Which one will have the female driver

it's in the highway code to be aware of the space large vehicles may require. thankfully this was only a bent car and not a cyclist.

That's why I just block the whole road when I'm doing it,

Not a good week for grey Porsches in Darlington.

This is the linked story from that article:

A DARLINGTON man is offering up a reward after his Porsche was left with thousands of pounds worth of damage in an act of vandalism.

Don't even think it's that half the time. People are just generally impatient on the roads and willing to take huge risks to make their overall journey about ten seconds faster.

Lorry could only ever have been turning left anyway due to the status and layout of the road it was turning on to. Car driver is a moron.

Big Jeff will be along questioning your observation in a bit

What other reason is there for a car to get stuck underneath in the direction it’s traveling?

Aye but most drivers don't know the highway code by memory. What I mean is they should integrate a hgv section into the theory test to make drivers more aware of potential risks or hazards.

Just walking near my flat I see plenty of drivers who don't know what a box junction is.

Sat outside the Woollen Mill and seen all the commotion and police go past. Assumed the lorry was in the right lane to turn left. The Porsche was in the left lane to turn left. Lorry went, Porsche never.
