My word!

That is frightening.
How can the lorry driver be so oblivious to what is happening?

[JacksHereR]

i figured it must be cruise control. otherwise you must notice the apparent loss in power.
Was a woman driver? im amazed she didnt have her finger out the window and the horn singing... or maybe that happened just before he picked her up

The driver was slowing down gently to avoid rolling the clio, hence the brake lights.

Is this the 10th time we have had this posted?

There's a thread about this on another forum and several truck drivers said it had happened to them. They feel a bump but they're fighting with the trucks all the time anyway, especially if it's a bit windy. With the power and weight of the truck, they don't notice the extra loading.

One said that as he realised and braked, so removing the force from the car, the car shot off sideway into the crash barrier. Doh!
