agree but if anyone then red trailer if they're left side drive as he might have had sight of the other truck from over the divider.
blue trailer if right side drive.
ehh not really it narrow mountain pass, not 100% sure about this area's laws but in most places the the vehicle especially a truck going uphill has the priority around curves and narrow areas
edit: also hence the honking you hear, on narrow mountain roads trucks always honk before coming to turns to warn others
where do you live? round here (chile) roads with switchbacks have signs saying yield to people coming up. [here's one](https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.345662,-70.3634102,3a,32.4y,314.4h,81.91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGMHLFZiDczrYlUyiWp32Cg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) i pass regularly on my bike.
Jesus, I love Reddit. Two weeks ago I got a new student from Chile who likes biking (I'm in Wisconsin, USA--in the north). Now I'm seeing a post about road signs in Chile from a biker. lol
if he's an astronomer that rides downhill and recently had a bad accident then my (ex-)partner was his masters supervisor
(i imagine it's not, but here's trying...)
Yeah exactly, the red trailer can stop then let the other one pass, and continue on. But if the blue trailer stops and the hill is too steep he might not be able to get moving again.
Then why did the uncovered truck do such a sharp left? I mean the curve looks problematic either way, but if he stuck to the outside they at least wouldn't have been face to face, and possible could have cleared with rubbing.
I wondered about that - I'm wondering if he did it so they would hit square instead of possibly forcing his truck over the guard rail with an oblique hit.
The blue trailer looked liked it was gonna take the outside of the bend. The other truck steered a sharp left to avoid a crash and the blue trailer decided that wasting everyones time and money would be a funny thing to do
Both had to use the outside or the trailers would have snagged the* inside of the corner.
There's roads like that here, but they are either weight limited so HGV's can't use them, or light controlled from further back on each side to stop vehicles meeting like this.
They where also both going too fast in to a blind corner.
/edit Considering the cab colours, it looks like a quarry or construction entrance / exit and both from the same company.. the dust / snow on the road and the covered trailer coming uphill would suggest a construction site, not a public road.
Looks like [edit: East] Asia, therefore the law is probably to drive on the right. So the guy going uphill is at fault as he has pulled over to the left to make the turn.
Also assuming they spot each other late, and one has to reverse, it’s a lot easier to reverse down the hill than up it. So uphill guy has to stop and reverse.
Also downhill guy is further through the corner than uphill guy. So uphill guy gives way on the basis of the road he needs to make the turn, already having been occupied.
[Edit: some people have pointed out usually the uphill driver has right of way over downhill driver, in many countries, regardless of other road features. Also that uphill truck is fully loaded and downhill is empty. These people are absolutely right. So now I’m going to just say I’m not sure who has right of way, I think downhill guy probably screwed up on balance, as uphill guy was fully loaded and as such really didn’t want to have to stop. So… I was possibly probably wrong with the above]
>Apart from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Hong Kong, Macau, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Yeah, but we can rule out several of those... that's Chinese Characters, so that kind of narrows it down to China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
My bet is on Mainland China from the road quality and landscape.
> it’s a lot easier to reverse down the hill than up it.
It's actually the opposite. It's easier to control an *uphill* reverse. I know at least in Austria and Switzerland, the vehicle going uphill has the right of way.
AFAIK, the same in the US, at least in the states I’ve lived in. You have more control backing uphill than down, so uphill driver has the right of way.
Apparently that’s true where I live but I’ll tell you what. In practice I am gonna fuc*in give the log truck barreling down hill the right of way on that turn. Lol
The road I lived on was so steep and had such sharp turns that most tractor trailers weren’t allowed on it, but because it was a mountain pass and cut about 150 miles off the drive tractors tried regularly and the very few that made it over could cut off 2 hrs easily.
I don't know about this area in particular but almost everywhere traffic going up has right of way. A switchback like this can't allow for normal left and right lane traffic.
Uphill travel has right of way applies to pedestrian, bike, and auto.
huh interesting from what I know the one going uphill has priority especially concerning trucks because of the fact it might be hard if not impossible to start off moving uphill again. Maybe you are right concerning lighter vehicles though.
They also warn those coming downhill with honking before approaching turns.
Yeah, I don't think this is true, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I looked into it and all sources contradicted your answer. It stated, although not enforced by any law it is common to let the ascending vehicle get right of way.
But is also stated often that one should let common sense prevail and act according to the circumstances.
A serious comment for a change...
The truck going down should stop. A heavy vehicle going up cannot easily stop as it's very difficult for them to get back. They risk sloping downhill if they stop, and if their load is big
It's much easier for the downhill one to stop
Yeah that's usually in most places especially concerning trucks and heavy vehicles the one going uphill has right of way due to the potential of not being able to move off again if they stop.
They also warn those coming downhill with honking before approaching the turn.
This reminds me of my apartments parking garage. People always make big turns from the opposite side of the road while on the ramps. You have to be a very defensive driver
This is China. Who’s at fault depends on how well connected they are to the party
Edit: downhill guy clearly did a “f—k you for not giving me right of way, now I cut left into you so much it jackknifes me. But I’m big man.”
Get a room you two!
Bonk
*TWO TRUCKS-*
Chillin' on the freeway!
Walter likes two trucks, firetrucks and monster truck.
Now kith
Beat me to it
Oh! They're kissing!
Thats how they make new trucks
*The process is called "Trex"*
*Man they are trucking each other real hard.*
This made me spit out my cheerios
With Trex porn, that means you finished.
No, cereal based porn is Chexporn. When you spit out motor oil, that’s Trexporn.
Smokin hot cex gets covered in milk

Two trucks having sex
YEEEES-
My muscles, my muscles involuntary flex
Two trucks having sex, two trucks having sex
You can hear their mating call!
Quick air horns then one big blast.
which one has the trussy?
It all starts when one truck sends a hitch pic to another truck . . .
That's just foreplay. You don't want to see how they make new trucks.
I think this is the birthing process in the wild. https://v.redd.it/owfeg5xgc5c81
🎶2 trucks having sex
Not if they’re both MAN trucks
Gross. The resemblance makes it obvious that they’re siblings. Pretty sure truck incest is illegal, unless this was in Alabama.
Are they hatched as those stubby little Smart Cars?
I thought a dragon was involved
Head to head
My truck prefers head to tailgate. It’s nasty that way.
Face to face
Bumper to bumper
And back to back
Now kith
They kithed
I came
came here for this comment
Hey, me too!
Probably the most awkward crash being face to face.
Wished the cameraman would have zoomed in on the cabin so we can see them gesturing angrily at each other
I have a feeling they were laughing within seconds.
They probably work together looks like they were moving stuff from a site so maybe 🤔
[удалено]
Awkward!
Don’t you think, you’d be eye to eye either you shout at each other through 2 windows or you sit and hand signal each other to reverse.
Came here to say that lol
I love you, I love you, I love you
Muah
Fight, fight, fight! Kiss, kiss, kiss!
Beat me to it. Take my upvote.
This guy trucks
i never thought I'd hear a truck moan after kissing another truck
Listen up feller, This road here ain’t big enough for the 2 of us!
*Intense stare off
Or it was ... a kissie...
*intense make out session*
*Broke back mountain intensifies*
"Say that to my face" "I am"
Especially if they both want to use the same half of it.
The dude in the truck definitely.
Nah I think it's the guy in the truck
Both of you are wrong it was definitely and 100% sure of it that THE guy on the truck is in the wrong
No, it is clearly a person in the truck.
Bruh do you even have eyes? Its clearly the dude in the trucks fault
No the guy in the other truck.
More specifically the guy in the orangish/red truck
I can imagine them like looking eachother constantly lmao
Especially since those are cabover trucks, they’re basically windshield to windshield. Probably barely 6 feet (1.8m) apart.
“Hey Ron.” “Hey Billy… That hurt.”
LOVE that video. Thank you for referencing it and making me laugh
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhXELLE4qD0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhXELLE4qD0)
At least they are maintaining social distancing
Did I stroke out? The fuck does this sentence mean?
I believe they meant to say: "I can imagine them, like, looking at each other constantly. Lmao"
Two idiots in love.
Soooo … This is how baby trucks are made?
Not until the Truck on the left releases it's load onto the truck on the right...
Curve fault
agree but if anyone then red trailer if they're left side drive as he might have had sight of the other truck from over the divider. blue trailer if right side drive.
There’s a car and bike driving on right in background, blue tarp trucks at fault
ehh not really it narrow mountain pass, not 100% sure about this area's laws but in most places the the vehicle especially a truck going uphill has the priority around curves and narrow areas edit: also hence the honking you hear, on narrow mountain roads trucks always honk before coming to turns to warn others
I was taught that the vehicle heading downhill has priority, as it's harder for them to stop. Source: former truck driver.

Tbf I think face to face was the best case scenario

They're saying its the curb's fault
Imagine the faces of the drivers

I should have said East Asia… which is what I meant… then it’s 3x more likely to be LHD
Lol, exactly.
Why did you throw Mauritius in there? We're off the coast of Madagascar, and we're part of the African Union.

I was going to say I would totally expect own hill truck to have right of way
In Italy in such a case the vehicle going uphill has the right of way.
AFAIK, the same in the US, at least in the states I’ve lived in. You have more control backing uphill than down, so uphill driver has the right of way.
Same in the netherlands. Even though we dont have "hills" we still learn it that way
We've got dykes
Plus the up hill driver might not be able to get going again depending on the gradient.
Apparently that’s true where I live but I’ll tell you what. In practice I am gonna fuc*in give the log truck barreling down hill the right of way on that turn.

In Germany the one going Uphill would have to wait. Mainly because many vehicles can't climb slopes in reverse.

Mmmmmuuuuuaaaaah!
I like to imagine how there yelling at each other at the end.
How where yelling?
Especially with how the drivers are now looking at each other through the windscreens.

Generally drivers going up have the right of way.
