A partial explanation lies in the driving position for the trash collection vehicle is on the right or left depending on where the cans are. So he wouldn't have the perspective with that truck that you and I have driving down a 2 way street - the size and driving position distort things quite a bit. I like how he is picking up the pieces. It is smart to photodocument damage and position. Kudos!
Also, it looks like there might have been a yellow line in the road which is faded quite a bit. Luckily the likelihood of an uninsured garbage truck is low!
