Something to think about...
Anyone any idea just what the forces are on the main gear when you do a turn like that?
"A full 90 degree turn on is, IMHO, counter productive. Extra tyre wear/damage, more torsional stress for gear (especially on bogey types) and as anyone who operates out of LHR or LGW will know a very, very high price in occupancy and thus capacity/congestion. The risk of coming to grief on account of 10-20m? I would say miniscule."
An understatement.
