blind lorry driver much ?

[Mabs]

just been shown this... cant believe it tbh :O

YouTube - lorry driver doesn't see car

 

[Sparx]

The people in that car must be terrified

 

[Ch3tan]

The problem is that the lorry driver is probably only going to stop at a junction or a jam, which will propel the car into other traffic

Hoooooooooollllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Talk about the ride of your life....

 

[Shagrat]

I bet they were 40 years older when they got out of that car. Thats well scary

 

[rynnor]

Shame u cant see the start of the incident - presumably they pulled out in front of him without checking the lane was clear? They must have been changing lane to end up side on I think.

I dont think he actually could see them once they are on the front without leaning way out of his seat but youd expect him to notice the impact/weird noise at the front?

 

[Gray]

Guess they couldn't use their horns either!

Wonder what they said when they got out the car...

Wonder what they said when they got out the car...

"I need to change my underwear"

There's absolutely no way that lorry driver would not know that car is there. I'm guessing road rage.

 

[Shagrat]

that's one bloody angry lorry driver then.

 

[00dave]

it's debatable as to whether the driver can see the car or not, I've driven trucks and I can tell you if you're sat low down you can't see anything beneath the windscreen.
However if he can't hear the sound of the two vehicles rubbing together there must be something wrong.

Can anyone tell if it's a foreign truck?

edit/ scratch that it's not foreign they have a website for the name on the side of the truck and its a british company

 

[Turamber]

So not surprised, a lot of lorry drivers in the UK are absolute bastards. They know they're bigger than everyone else so force you off the road, cut you up, turn without indicating, you name it.

I had one do a 180 degree turn in the road and crush me against the kerb. No indication and no apology either. After the incident was over he pulled straight out onto a dual carriageway without waiting for a space, forcing the drivers to make emergency stops.

 

[Chilly]

That's what you get when anyone from the EU can drive around on UK roads with little fear of prosecution when they fuck up.

 

[Sparx]

all the comments on youtube reckon its fake

 

[Dukat]

Surely someone would use thier horn or flash the lorry or something?!

 

[00dave]

maybe they were too busy filming it for youtube

I don't think it's fake, you can see the brake lights going on and off

Lorry driver gets car stuck under bumper on motorway at 60mph | Mail Online

I think its fake

Won't you see smoke from the tires also? its not like they are going in the right direction.

I think you've been watching too many films.

"The Arclid Transport lorry was travelling in the fast lane when it was spotted."

More astounding levels of journalistic integrity from the Daily Fail.

 

[Raven]

You would get tyre smoke for as long as there are tyres, at that speed that would not be very long before they are work and then blown out. After which you would get sparks as the wheels grind on the road. ofc the truck driver would see it too, he would probably feel it too.

 

[Tom]

Really, so you get tyre smoke in the pissing rain do you?

Funny, I've never seen that.

 

[00dave]

I love the way all the people posting are "experts" on tyre wear and such, like Tom said too many movies lol. So many of them are convinced it's a hoax I'm waiting for one of them to say conspiracy.

 

[rynnor]

It looks real but who knows these days - as it overtakes them I seem to see either a flashing white light or sparks coming from the side in contact with the Lorry btw.

Edit: Actually another viewing makes it look like just headlights refracting off of rain drops - it really is chucking it down.

 

[Mabs]

just seen it on the lunch news bbc1

 

[Ctuchik]

Won't you see smoke from the tires also?

not at 60 Mph. sure there will be smoke but as the lorry was driving so fast it wont go very high above the ground untill its well behind it.

I think the tyres would explode, the car would flip turned upside down and become the fresh prince of bel air
