Just missed getting smooshed by a semi this morning. I was waiting out a red light at an intersection when the first semi made the turn. I thought I had left enough room, but the semi was still taking a very wide line (almost a u-turn at that intersection). Stopped inches from crunching the side of my car. I backed up, and so did the pickup behind me. When there was enough room, I was able to dart through the yellow light into the Rite-Aid parking lot across the street.
The pickup truck wasn't so lucky. He got stuck at the red light, and the second semi, a partner of the first, took his turn. Again with a wide line, and in spite of the pickup driver leaning on his horn, did NOT stop. Well, not until he'd wedged the front drivers side corner of the pickup under his trailer.
If I hadn't dashed through the intersection with the yellow, I'd have been where the pickup was, and my little Suziki Aerio would likely have been totaled.
