I was thinking that too. Cannot believe that having a car on your front end is not going to make some sort of difference to your day.

Probably too busy finding Max Clifford's number.

I'm amazed nobody on this thread has commented on the clearly excellent handling of the Clio while being driven sideways. Drifters around the world will spontaneously combust with jealousy!

Nearly happened to me with a foreign driver on the A14 - he veered lane into the rear quarter of PTMW! and started to push me round but it was more of a glance & I luckily corrected it. Thread about it on here somewhere...

The clio video has inspired a new Gov green policy: The Daily Mash - GREEN CAMPAIGN URGES DRIVERS TO GET WEDGED UNDER LORRY

Do you really believe that he would do that deliberately?

It has been known for people to do far worse things for over trivial issues. There was a case not so long ago where a motorist was cut up by a HGV. At the next lights he got out of his car to have a chat with the driver, only to find that the driver deliberately drove over him severing his right leg from his torso

Thats a pretty terrible thing to do of course.

I doubted that the driver had seen the car being pushed along but we will have to wait for the investigation I imagine.

there is a huge bindspot right under the widscreen of a lorry, the newer ones like mine have a mirror that covers that area now. I can understand how he could have missed it, just cant see how it started without feeling some sort of bump?? bizarre.
