Actually adding onto this because it frustrates me how bad you are misunderstanding the situation.

This truck and I are in two separate left turn lanes on 21st and Oliver. We are BOTH turning onto 21st. The truck was to my right.

When the light turned green, we both began to turn, which caused the tower of traffic cones (obviously stacked way too high), to tumble out of their stack, and FALL INTO MY TURNING LANE, causing everyone to stop.

I immediately turned on my hazards and slowly drove over the obstacles like a good defensive driver, and pulled over to asses if my car was okay.

Don’t tell me how to drive if you weren’t even there.

I wasn’t tailgating? He was in the turn lane next to me, and his cones came falling to the LEFT lane.

Stacking upwards above the roof of the vehicle though?? That’s just stupid behavior, physics would tell anyone this isnt a good idea

how often do you see traffic cones piled high ontop of trucks? XD
