I bet that doesnt polish out.

Frightening. Trucks have now got simply too big.
The M25 is all the proof you want if it were needed.

Scary !

I see the rear wheels of the Merc are still rolling even though he is going sideways. I suspect that its instinct to keep your foot on the throttle thinkling " I'm outta here"

Yup, I got hit just like that by a Portuguese lorry on the M25 that changed lanes without seeing me. Hertz were none too impressed with the body mods to their Focus.

This looks familiar. It's been posted previously.

I know of someone who ended up in the same position on the M74 after an elderly lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel and drifted into his lane , catching his rear corner and flipping him into the same position then pushing him along for several hundred yards before coming to and stopping !!!

Saw a similar situation on the Kingston Bridge whilst passing the other way , so these instances must be not so uncommon as all that !

Boss, you've been off work watching videos all day I presume

The truck doesn't seem to be slowing down though....just ploughing on.

Have to say the standard of some lorry drivers is appaling given what they are driving and the danger they can cause

Its good to see the car never flipped over, if it had been a 4x4 it possibly would have with more severe consequences other than brown undies.

Guess any reasonably solid car would do the same. I must add that if the driver was more aware of the truck in his 3/4 he could have avoided that by accelerating away from the truck...

I thought the same myself. Virtually all cars would have behaved the same as that Mercedes, since there was very little deceleration involved.

I hate driving with cars near my blind-spot and will change my speed to move them away from it.
