tprice Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 shouldnt have been overtaking on that road really! love the way he just drives off though lol!! but really, why was he filming? random vid haha! kept me entertained for a minute though Quote
JetSet Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 shouldnt have been overtaking on that road really! Absolutely, overtaking a truck on a 2 lane road with part of those lanes covered in snow was a very poor decision...He seemed to be driving sensibly until then too, he'd left a good gap to the truck Pete Quote

spursmaddave Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 That is just insane I have had a couple of close calls, I think most of us have if we are honest Quote
Fuse Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Fresh pairs of pants all round I think! It looked for all the world like that truck was going to take the front of his car off! Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Fresh pairs of pants all round I think! It looked for all the world like that truck was going to take the front of his car off! reading the uTube comments it could have been a police vehicle which would maybe explain the lack of panic...

Gudzy Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I'm not sure he was trying to overtake particularly, he could tell that his car wasn't going to stop before hitting the back of the truck so went slightly to the left as the truck started to go right. Other than maintaining a better gap I'm not sure what else he should have done. Quote
Madmarky Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Try watching his other videos, pure madness, especially the motor bike one Quote
HaydnH Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 OUCH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npulCmFJwRE Quote
Fuse Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I'm amazed he got straight up after that (albeit with a limp!), looked pretty nasty. Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I'm amazed he got straight up after that (albeit with a limp!), looked pretty nasty. Yeah and the driver that caused it was probably unaware of any of it... Quote
Ebized Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Scenario seems to be the truck braked hard as he saw the snow plough had stopped/slowed and the artic was bearing down at a rate of knots becasue it was stolen and if you check out the fourth vehicle after the 'pass' its got its blues and twos going. Also, the artic being chased clips the rear of the snow plough and jolts it out. The fact he kept his foot down was just enough to drag the trailer away from a collision. Whether the car with the video was police or not is not wholly clear, but I would say not as he kept going rather than turning to help give chase (what good that would have done though...) Comments seem to suggest the videoing in Russia is common practice to record evidence for smashes and they take these 'incidents in their stride. Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Yep just another uneventful day on a russian highway Quote
nzr350z Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I'm amazed he got straight up after that (albeit with a limp!), looked pretty nasty. That is unbelievable,that biker must be nicknamed 'The Cat' after that lucky escape. Quote
