That depends... I drive truck. To answer this correctly I need to ask two questions. Was the two vehicles traveling on an open highway or designated freeway? Or, Were the two vehicles sitting at an intersection waiting for the green light? If they were traveling on an open highway the truck should have signaled his intentions and moved over to the left lane when it was safe to do so. Now.... most of the time, a truck will signal a lane change and any cars traveling in that lane will sneak up next to his rear wheels. The truck who is already commited to the lane change may or may not see the car. So, the car is At Fault. The second scenario is just as complicated. The truck has to be in the farthest lane from the turn to make the turn without running over the sidewalk. If the truck was making a left turn and the car came up alongside to make a left turn also, again the car could be made accountable. But most likely the truck will be held at fault because he should have been paying attention to the turning side of his vehicle. Especially the left side since he does not need his mirrors to see what's on that side of the truck.

What is an articulated lorry?

When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but in opposite directions Why don't these forces balance each othe?
While the forces between the truck and trailer are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they act on different objects (truck and trailer) resulting in acceleration of the entire system. The truck exerts a force on the trailer causing it to accelerate forward, and in return, the trailer exerts an equal and opposite force on the truck. As both objects have different masses, this results in them accelerating in the direction of the larger force, which is from the truck to the trailer.
