A turn assist system for a vehicle includes a transceiver configured to receive data corresponding to the location and motion of a nearby vehicle, a GPS receiver configured to generate location data representative of the location of the vehicle, a vehicle motion sensor configured to monitor one or more motion parameters of the vehicle, and a processor. The processor may be configured to: receive the location data and the vehicle motion data; maintain a plurality of motion paths within a database; map the location of the adjacent vehicle to one of the plurality of motion paths using the received data; and determine if the adjacent vehicle will obstruct the forward motion of the vehicle.
