The unfortunate part with that would be that the truck driver would likely lose his job and his life would be ruined for a bit. A lot of companies have zero incident tolerance, sometimes even if you are not at fault.

There has to be some kind of damage or else he must have been really lucky. It's weird how that happens all of a sudden. All in all, the driver is asking for it.

No brains at all!
That's a 4,000lb weapon he's driving reckless. Thank god he didn't kill anyone.

Why not do that at the track where you really can use your skills.

I dunno, I wouldn't wish any bodily harm on anyone.... Even if they were a complete idiot or not.

otakki

What exactly happened? Does anyone know? It looks like he was going straight, then the rear end suddenly lost traction. With the complete lost of traction at the rear, it's natural the rear fish-tailed out to the right according to the laws of physic--but it can just be a coincidence. Did he hit an oil spot or something? It's just scary if this can just happen suddenly for no reason.

Roswell

That is dangerous driving.

Otakki, I dont think he hit an oil spot & lost control.. It's more like he was going so fast that a truck turned into his lane & he almost hit it.

Fung63

exactly. he was going at such a speed that the truck driver didnt know he was there when the driver wanted to make a lane change.

Guilty

Because the stupid truck driver doesn't know how to fücking indicate! Comparing to Europe no one indicates here in America, SO FRUSTRATING.

Roswell

... not another helpful post.

Guilty

If he indicated, that wouldn't happen and the speeding driver would've seen him. I'm not saying that speeding in a tunnel is a good idea. I just think that it's hallucinating how many people here don't indicate. I wish that traffic school was mandatory here in the US because sometimes I wonder how some people got their license.

Whats more dangerous? Flying down the highway well in excess of the posted speed limit or not indicating when changing lanes.

Im sorry. A trucker or anyone on the road is NOT expecting a vehicle to close in on them at well over twice the speed limit. The driver of the car is a douche.

Roswell

^^ well said forcefed.

Guilty

Both are faulty IMO but I agree that speeding is more dangerous than not indicating.

^^ This speaks volumes about your age and level of maturity. You must be a kid.

The fact remains that if this genius in the video was not blitzing his car down the tunnel this never would have happened. 95% of people don't realize how plastic metal becomes at those speeds.

I have had the privilege to be rear-ended at highway speeds twice. Once while I was driving a crane (dusty conditions) and the second time while I was pulling onto the highway and some one passed a semi on a double solid line. Both times I was OK but the people that rear-ened me ended up going hospital.

You guys can keep calling anyone that is younger than you a kid because they have accomplished what you couldn't do when you were their age.

But you're right, I'm still a kid.

forcefed6.4ford

What ever junior. I never mentioned anything about what you have or have not done. Just the fact that I can tell your a kid but your attitude.

Guilty

So basically you don't agree when I say that traffic school needs to be mandatory and you're fine with people that don't indicate?

forcefed6.4ford

WTF!!! Dude. According to your statement, driving at twice the speed limit is less of an infraction then signaling?

If that car was next to or close to the truck when it changed lanes without signaling there MIGHT have been a scuff or some harsh words exchanged. But at the speeds this guy was driving at he used up 8 of his 9 lives getting out of that sticky spot without dying. You dont get it. You can argue about the lane change all you want, it still doesnt change the fact that if he was traveling at or close to the speed limit there would have been zero issue.

Get off the computer. Your mom is calling you for lunch.

Guilty

You don't understand what I'm trying to say. It's true that the speeding guy was 100% faulty and that what he did is way more dangerous than not indicating BUT if the truck driver indicated, the risks that an accident occurs would much lower because the speeding guy would've seen him.

PS: My mom died last year, please keep her out of this.

forcefed6.4ford

Sorry to hear. My apologies.

Still doesn't change anything though LOL

Guilty

Yes, your LOL makes your apologies look very sincere. Thanks.

forcefed6.4ford

Different statements.

cyberorth

Wow guys! Seems like you are speaking different languages!
I might say that from the words you're using, you're about the same age.
That would not be a compliment to forcefed, sorry!

No question that the C driver is an idiot, but most of us often indicate only when WE think it is necessary, where as if we did EVERY time, idiots like this would not affect our lives as much.

Guilty, you might say that the truck would benefit from indicating not for the sake of the stupid C driver, but for his own job:

I am amazed that forcefed is responding to the indicator comment so aggressively, while all the posts about wishing the guy dead and a huge accident causing it go unchallenged...

SLS Qatar

Good reaction by the driver. However, I hope it doesn't have to happen like this again with him

Your dad bought you your car. What's been accomplished? Don't be an asshat or I will personally put you in the corner.

You are 100% wrong. The C driver was acting like a maniac and putting himself and others in danger.
