If you are near a truck that's making a turn (doesn't matter left or right and doesn't matter which lane) STAY OUT OF THE LANE BESIDE IT while the truck is making that turn
It's that simple
A lot of those trucks have a sign on the back indicating that the truck makes wide turns. That's the implication of that sign ... STAY OUT OF THERE
For this one, I'm with turbodish ... If the truck is making a right in the lane one out from the curb lane then the truck driver not only has to be watching what is happening ahead but will also have to watch out for idiots squeezing between the trailer wheels and the curb.
If the truck is making a wide right and swinging into the other lane while doing so, and you're next to it in the lane to the left of it, 2 choices, either squirt ahead of the truck (only do this if you're starting out near the front of the truck, i.e. you are at the front of the line) or hold back while the truck does its turn.
It's not that hard ...
