What the hell is a semi doing turning down a small street like that anyways?

He needs to swing out wider before making the turn next time.

As for the stop line, stopping on the stop line is legal in the US and you were fine anyways where you stopped, OP. I'm sure Canadian laws are similar anyways.



Semi drivers think they own the road, I hate them. They need to stay in the right lane, damn it.

I've been cut off by a semi on the highway in the Z for no apparent reason. By buddy used to drive a truck and he told me they'll do that to nice cars to "teach them a lesson". It's scary to think about the people driving these big rigs. They are interesting characters. Either way, I keep my distance feom these things.

I was a passenger in a mini pick-up when a large truck turned the corner the same way. The driver had his window down and I heard him say "I think I can make it" right before his rear wheels mounted the hood. He didn't even have a scratch.

I just snagged a hero 3+ (big sale at the PX) and the issue is mounting it for me.
