Lorry driver doesn't see clio [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caPmw3OVQMo"]YouTube - lorry driver doesn't see car[/ame]
o my word. how scary must that be lol!!! surely other drivers would catch up and slow the lorry down!!!!
If the damage is already done, somethings in life are worth a little extra suffering for photo/video evidence! Like if you ever writeoff your car, there are the mandatory 'Look I put my car on its roof' shots This video is absolutely epic, and I'd have been the first one with the camera phone out!
Seen that happen on Boucher Road, Some out let a Saxo out of Hursts and the girl driving drove out crossing the road and got collected by a 8 wheeler Cement truck in the outside lane, the driver pushed it near 200 yrds before he stopped. He only stopped because the saxos tyres where smoking and he was wondering where the smoke was comimg from!
Full lock, boot to the board in 3rd would have got the Clio off there. But then again it was a woman driving, who thought having the brakes on would help...
5th gear done a feature on this a good while ago. Happens all too easily with UK lorries on the continent and foiregn lorries here, when they pull out to pass there is a blindspot below the passengers door. The lorry driver probably didnt even know there was a car there.
lol much experience in being pushed sideways at 60 mph have you? I would say most people would **** themselves and panic. I'm pretty sure she wouldnt just have driven off, can imagine the accident if she'd free'd herself at that speed.
Aye, every day, wee flick of the wand Fast'n'Furious stylee, proper job! Make you wonder what sort of fail gets you stuck to the front of a truck in an otherwise undamaged motor anyway, doesn't it?
