Title: How to drive your car sideways!
Post by: Serious on March 18, 2010, 23:12:49 PM
Seems to save petrol too. Link includes video.

QuoteAn astonishing video has been captured of a lorry driving on the A1 with a Renault Clio stuck to its radiator - and its driver still inside.

Nope.  I refuse to believe a truck driver could be that f**king stupid and/or unaware.  Id sooner believe in the existence of God than that bollocks.

it did really happen.... its been on the local news here a few times now.... together with comments from the police etc...

Ive got no idea how far he drive like that tho, maybe it was just 100yards ?

maybe he panicked / freaked out and didnt know what to do ?  maybe the car cut him up and he was mad as hell etc...


either way.... it did happen....

50tons of truck could push a 1ton clio along on a wet road without even feeling any slower.

Also the driver probably wouldnt even have felt it when he collected her and he cant see down in front of his cab, he would have to stand up to see it.

Its quite a common thing apparently, though not to the extremes of this case but if a car tries to dart in front of a truck at a junction for example the truck can collect the car and drive on for a bit without realising.

lol good old fashioned pig headed stubborness


I think youre fighting a losing battle, as it quite clearly did happen and wasnt staged

maybe if you deny it enough tho itll make it true?

Well, hopefully said trucker will lose his licence for good.  Evidently wasnt aware of the traffic around him and somehow "missed" a vanishing Clio.  :disappointed:
