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. An impatient motorist veers around tractor-trailer driver John Doe, who’s making a left-hand turn at a traffic light. The motorist can’t make the turn in time and instead crashes into Doe’s trailer. Could Doe have prevented this crash?
