You ask: "Who has right-of-way?" I answer: It's the one with the greatest mass...and in this video, that is not you. Have you ever been hit by a semi? I have. They win EVERY TIME. You don't want to be hit by a semi. They can LITERALLY crush your car like a tin can. Legally, the person driving the semi was supposed to maintain their lane. So if you got hit, assuming you survive, you would have the law on your side. I would have braked, got behind them, called out the plate. Then I would have went around to get the information on the side of the cab, and reported them to their employer...maybe even the police.
I was not the driver. The video is from a customer who said I could use it. I agree that when you are out-massed, the right of way will not nullify the laws of physics, which is why the driver of the pickup stopped. The driver of the pickup says he always checks his ego before starting his engine. He just wasn't expecting the semi to cross all 3 lanes. The pickup driver is a customer of ours who is also a semi truck driver and has been at it for over 15 years with a clean record. He is a very careful driver and respects the law. Thanks for the feedback!!
I would like to point out that you do NOT have a green light, as that is for the lanes that are going straight. Your lane is controlled by the Yield sign only, same as the semi opposite you. And as the semi passed his Yield sign first, you should have yielded right-of-way to him.

He always says that SAFETY is a priority - don't take chances. I asked if I could feature this on my channel. He said the semi accelerated hard and didn't expect the semi to cross all 3 lanes. Obviously, because he was going so fast around the u-turn and accelerated, he was unable to stay in his own lane like he was supposed to, as is stated in the Texas Driver's Handbook. The driver turning right had the right of way by law as long as he remained in his own lane. Thanks for the feedback!!!
It appears that the semi driver didn't want to slow down and have to shift gears hence, he accelerated and that resulted in his not being able to remain in his own lane as he should have done as is stated in the Texas Driver's Handbook (more drivers should actually read this booklet). The driver turning right had the right of way by law as long as he remained in his own lane. I agree with some of the comments that, the pickup driver should anticipate irresponsible driving habits of others and never assume they will follow the rules of driving in this era of "me-first". A good reminder to always be safe, stay alert and never assume others have read the State's Driver's Handbook or that they will follow the rules.
Hey there! We're putting together a new project and we think your video would be a great addition on our social networks. Can we include it? We'll make sure to give you full credit
Hi, All Truck Fleet can I feature this clip "Dash Cam - Who Has the Right Of Way ??" on my RUclips channel? Any comment what happened? Where did this happen? Credited of course (on-screen and link back). Thanks
Sure! The Semi was doing a U-Turn with a Yield sign onto a one way. The green light at the intersection was facing away from the semi. The right turn vehicle also had a yield sign onto the same one way. The Semi crossed all three lanes and nearly collided with the passenger vehicle who was in his own lane. The Semi Driver then motions to the Passenger vehicle to slow down although he was the one driving aggressively. Location: Spring Texas.
Yes, please credit the source. Spring TX. Truck driver was making a u-turn with a yield sign, the passenger vehicle was turning right, also with a yield sign but stayed in his lane. The Semi crossed all 3 lanes. I guess he was going too fast to stay in his own lane.

You can see the Semi Truck slow down, then accelerate aggressively and fail to remain in his lane.
