it pays to have a sunroof lol

[nova_saloon]

lol thats mad i wonder what happened

[sparkie1401]

WTF


scary stuff

[burgo]

how the hell

[nathan.]

Wasn't this on the news recently, apparently the driver didn't see the car

[Plug]

thats mad

[blue_peg_16v]

fecking hell

[mowgli]

its completely feasible. and unlike the youtube comments by a group of people who know about digital images but don't know about blindspots on lorries.

whats happened is the car has tried to nip in & undertake the lorry, but completely misjudged it, and been gently spun round. causing minimal damage to both vehicles, apart from a little flat spotting of the tyres.

how do I know this?????

because our old scania 143 did exactly the same outside kings cross station one afternoon with an illegal minicab who tried to undercut him at the traffic lights. he was shoved 400yards up the road & a friendly copper flagged him down. he had no idea it was there, the peugeot 405 was hidden in his blindspot

[L14MNP]

Surely he should feel something if that's real! lol

[burgo]

the noise the tyres must be making aswell. i love how the filming car doesnt try to tell him and just takes there junction off lmao

[mowgli]

the man is draggin 44 tons up the road, an extra ton on wet tarmac wouldn't seem any different

[mowgli]

the soundproofing to keep the engine noise out will hide it

[draper]

thats mad

probably scary as hell for the car driver/passengers aswell

[mowgli]

probably need a good valet afterwards

[draper]

tbh i cant believe some of the driving i see on motorways/dual carriageways, what posses' people to think 'playing' with a 44t wagon doing 55mph is clever is beyond me

[Pete]

lmfao funny stuff, i was just woundering why you wouldnt see it etc but now mowgli has explained i can see why, its not exactly easy to see right infront of you in a truck.

[L14MNP]

Fair. I just thought a bump would have been felt but given wet conditions and a light tap to the Clio then I guess not.

Still though, I would be alongside (a safe distance away) and getting the artic drivers attention, I would like to see the car drivers face! (or seat) lol

[Mattman]

thats mental, I am sure the driver of the car is trying his brakes now and again too. NEVER gonna help....................especially going sideways

[L14MNP]

Why's he hogging the outside lane?

[mowgli]

Why's he hogging the outside lane?

its the A1 and some prat with a camera is in the slow lane as a guess

it must be true, as its in the papers...... even the speed of the lorry is wrong.... it was doing 56mph.....as his speed limiter won't allow any more, which is measured using a very simple calibrated speedometer that is accurate.

and that it records every little thing :D Roadwars ftw :thumb:

[NovaLad]

It's on the news lol

[Pete]

watchin the footage again...

this is a question for your mowgli, the trucks front lights are on, surely from the cab you would notice that their wasnt any light? obviously from the cab where their aint a car infront of you, you can see the lights clearly?

something that made me think....

IT ISN'T REALLY DARK, just a bit rainy

[mowgli]

another thing, the lorry is a few years old, cos all new builds have had to fit front left corner blindspot mirrors for a while now

[General Baxter]

i had a car smash into me at about 40mph, i was doing 20ish at the time, did not even notice, i drove off

[General Baxter]
