Reversing...
Still exploring the Queen's Park area of University of Toronto's campus and the former McLaughlin Planetarium surroundings, I came across a long 53-foot semi-truck needing to reverse out from a loading area through a narrow and winding side-road.
One can imagine to reverse a long semi-lorry is so easy task, never mind on a narrow and winding roadway. The tractor had to get on the curb in the final reverse-turn.

Alas! That led to a complication. The drive axle became hung and airborne and could not provide traction. The tractor became stuck for 10 minutes before a solution was found.
