Agreed, it looked very 'real' rather then staged

it dosent look staged, but i know vision is limited from a lorry cab.....but even so judging by how close some of these guys get to my ar53 along the a13 i find it hard to believe the driver cant see the car! lol

Many years ago I dealt with an accident when a Nova (remember them?? ), sneaked up along side the nearside of an HGV fully laden with grain just as it was turning left. The Nova got wedged between the trailer stands & wheels and travelled @ 150 yards before the driver was flagged down by a motor bike. The 4 blokes in the Nova were pretty shaken up.

When I asked the HGV driver how come he didn't notice the car, he replied "I've got 38 tonne of grain on the back, whats another tonne"

What I want to know is why the driver of the car doesn't take their foot off the brake and stick the car in reverse and get out of the way?

I'd think that would cause the car to rotate, ending up under the trailer and getting flattened.

Personally I'd be beeping the horn and asking politely for the driver to stop.

With their foot on the brake though, surely it's likely to dig in and flip?

It's got to be staged though surely?
