If you ever drove a semi you would know the dumb people scoot right in on your right side as you set up for a right turn. I had to turn my semi from East bound 1st to Southbound Lincoln Street in Port Angeles all the time and really watch for that.
FWIW I the OP meant for this to be on the thread about blowing out the rear window in the short bed RAM with a 40'11" 5er in tow.

Well the 40' part explains why he was worried about saving weight on the hitch!
That doesn't really play into how many degrees of turn he has without a slider hitch.
To this post OP's statement, yes right turns tend to be sharper and tighter in the real world (unless in the UK :B). One needs to drive further into the intersection before starting the turn. Left turns just have that naturally.
To this OP's statement, never pull more than about a half a car width from the curb, as some Dumb A$$ with ignore your right turn signal, and try and squeeze around you!!! :S
