Top work by trucker

I actually think the trucker did well here. If he had jumped on the brakes the dope in the Honda could have gone anywhere.

I was driving our teams 7.5 tonne race truck down the M1 yesterday to Brands. I don't get the pleasure very often so am extra vigilant.

A daft person with blonde hair in an X3 or similar did almost the same as the Honda. I had a truck on the outside of me, a truck behind me (too close as always, muppets) she just got to the end of the entry slip, indicated and unless I braked was going to collide. Fortunately, i had spotted her coming and was able to brake, albeit harder than I would have liked, and she moved into lane 1.

You just cant flick a truck around like a car. People are thick. Having said that, the standard of truck driving seemed to be pretty dire as well, looks a lot different from a truck than a car.

Cant believe the truck driver just kept his foot in regardless - he couldn't have known how it would all have ended.

How could he see? Xray vision through the dash / door?

Standing up away from the drivers seat in the middle of the cabin leaning forward over the deep dashboard to get his head where the camera is? Who's driving while he's off playing jungle Jim's on the dash?

Exactly.
