it looks worse than it probelly is.it has just happened and the truck brakes r on.have u any idea how long it would take to stop a fully loaded truck without it jack knifing.it looks scarey and im sure the car driver was sh…ing themselfs i know i would be but this sort of thing happens every day but people done catch it on film.plod must have been satisified.dont forget lots of trucks r fitted with forward facing cameras nowdays to record this type of incident for insurance perposes
Once saw a big artic. doing an emergency stop before T boning a car. (The old Brighton Road when it had all sorts of blind junctions on it.)
Despite 1960’s cars having no proper side protection, there wasn’t a great deal of damage and the car might well have been driveable except all four tyres had popped off the rims, which I guess accounts for all the sparks in that video.
indeed most drivers really dont think about it, it rerally annoys me when im in the lorry coming upto a junction or a red light and i have planned my braking distance then some fool thinks that its ok to dive in front just because there’s what seems like a big gap to a car and wonders why they get a blast on the horn :w00t:
