That was my thought also.

When the crash happens is looks like the camera vehicle has already crossed the lane and whatever it's towing gets hit?

Does nobody ever stop after an accident in the USA? Are they all terrified of being shot?

I just think it's one lorry passing another, will only take a minute or two and then those behind have a clear road in front of them for a short while.
But if the lorry driver didn't pass, the driver would have had a clear road anyway.

The manoeuvre usually takes longer than 2 minutes, especially when the braking time and acceleration time is taken into account (plus concertina effect).
The speed differential in elephant racing is usually 1 or 2 mph, whereas the speed differential between that and the cars being inconvenienced will be 20+, and this is multiplied by ALL of the cars inconvenienced (usually 10+), versus one truckers interests.
It's a selfish act, pure and simple.

The only reasonable conclusion I can draw is that the Russian economy is propped up by YouTube ad revenue for all their dashcam videos.
And replacement Lada sales...

Just a thought, has anyone ever Euro NCAP tested one of those wky Ladas? They seem to vapourise in the event of a collision.

The one at 2:54 is hilarious. Completely passive in expression and action. No attempt to catch the slide, no reaction when the car turns over, except perhaps an expression of faint irritation. Barely blinks or opens her mouth. Just "Meh!". Astonishing.
That's the face of "*sigh*, Here we go again..."

It was getting out of the way of a high speed motorbike. However, the motorbike rider was too impatient to wait and started to attempt a pass on the inside just as the car was moving over and the biker was ultimately the instigator of their own accident. Is that what you meant?

The Beetle seemed pretty tough for what was basically a 1930s car. There were probably a lot of pointy bits intruding into the cabin though.

Pretty inconsiderate to have a go at the woman and child crossing at the junction at 1.53 as they have priority. Inconsiderate motorists like him are the reason we have Mumsnet types wanting 20mph limits and other restrictions on car drivers.
