How The Hell....

Post by FourPart »

The most amazing part is that the driver actually survived this.

Video: Watch: Driver survives horrific crash when overtaking lorry on Belgian motorway - Telegraph

The number of times I've had motors cutting me up like this on Da Beasty, just because the most I can manage in a 40mph limit is 45mph. The problem is that I wouldn't have the same sort of resilience as the lorry did.

How The Hell....

Taken from article

Dashcam footage shows the moment Jasmien Claeys drives her car across two lanes and collides with a stationary lorry on the slip road. Her car is then forced into the dashcam lorry driver's path behind.

I'm glad she survived but drivers like this leave me cold. Had she not have collided with a vehicle that size, she could have taken out someone's family.

my pet hate are the ones that cut in and then jam on their brakes, if you hit them proving you were not at fault without a dash cam would be pretty hard.

Something that is scarily easy to do - especially on Motorways, where the image burns itself onto your retina, and even with your eyes closed you think you're still looking at the road.

With this one, you thought the potholes on English roads were bad...
