are you ever at an intersection where a semi is turning into the lane next to you, and they just go for it and assume you will back up? even though you can't if there's a vehicle behind you of course. specifically when the semi is coming from your left and turning right

one of the most bonkers things about the truck simulator genre of computer games is that professional truckers also play them. that is serious dedication to the art of trucking. however euro truck simulator is extremely ftw.

Don't loving try to pass then on the inside right during a turn.

The image above appears to be taken from the front of the store where the car gained entry, looking towards the far back of the store where the car decided to stop its trip.

If I am approaching an intersection where this situation is going to occur I just slow down if not stop short and give the semi truck the space to maneuver. If you are incapable of that then you deserve to get hit by the truck imo

Granted trains are much cooler but still model trains is different enough that it makes sense, like train engineers don't spend their days building trains and tracks and landscapes lol. this is more like a train engineer coming home from a long day of driving his train and relaxign with a few hours in train simulator (which, like model trains, can be very expensive -- 10k in DLC lol)

Sure is hilarious when interest rates rather than purchase prices are the controlling factor on the affordability of cars, and rates going from 4% to 8% "doubles" the price of a car that still costs the same $25k or whatever.
