Don't know if this has been on here before

No sorry haven't a clue who's car it is - I just came across the clip.
For those that cut across lanes to exit at the last minute on the motorway here's something to make you think.
The driver did survive, God only knows how.

The caption at the end of the video said that the driver was a 25 yr old girl.
Agreed she should have moved to the exit lane sooner, but as this was in Belgium, I assume her car was a left hand drive, so she would not have seen the slow moving traffic until after committing to the manoeuvre with such a short gap between her car & the lorry in front of her.
I agree she was lucky to survive the horrendous double impacts.
Be careful out there folks, allow yourselves plenty of space and time. ( One of Einstein's principles perhaps? )
ETA: It also clearly shows the value of having a live dashcam recording any journey.
Without that footage, the following lorry driver could have been found culpable in causing the accident, but the video completely exhonerates him.
It has made me give some serious thought about investing in one.

Glen - As has been said on here by Mark and latterly by me - they are invaluable, especially if you do a lot of driving for work and see this sort of nonsense every day. If nothing else, and you are willing to abide to the letter of the law (and of course its not your fault), it ensures your defence and avoid the changing of stories after the event.

Its particularly useful if someone indulges in road rage.
Driving the M25 in rush hour each day - I wouldn't now drive without one.
Chris - I have a NextBase 402G professional. These give a cracking HD picture and work extremely well at night too - picture stable too. The recording is onto a micro card. You can delete footage to keep the space on the memory card or set it to overtype once full. You don't have to let it display road speed either. As mentioned - its up to you whether you use it or not in evidence, but if your playing by the law and have an incident, its irrefutable. The traffic in rush hour on the M25 now is astounding, and so is the driving behaviour of people trying to gain a few places, hence my reason for getting one. It also recorded the Alien Abduction footage, so you have an idea of the quality if you need it for recreational purposes too.
