This video is an adaptation of a scenario from CCJ’s Preventable or Not manuals. It is presented via a partnership between CCJ and Instructional Technologies. At a downtown intersection, straight-truck driver John Doe was making a left turn. Attempting to swing it wide, Doe was unaware a sports car had appeared next to him at the light and collided with the car’s front fender. Was this crash preventable or not?
