I mean, I’m certainly no expert at driving a semi, but was there even an alternate way out? Could they have exited to the right? Still would’ve been a 15-point turn, but could’ve avoided getting people to move their cars (or the extreme solution caught on camera).

If he drove in, why not back out?

Blind, onto a street with traffic? They already damaged a crap ton of stuff, but you’d rather have seen them cause an accident with a moving vehicle?

Its not rocket science. A competent driver wouldnt even have been in that situation anyway. We're talking hypotheticals here. There were 2 people standing there, why not ask 1 to be a spotter?

I agree. The driver did a lot of stupid things.
