Was this a brake down?? or did he fall asleep??

YouTube - Trucks



Disclamer. This is to show what damage trucks can do in the wrong hands.

 

holy crap!!!!!!

 

**** me!!!!

 

would be interested to know what caused it..... quite a sharp sudden turn for falling asleep?
possibly blow out (couldnt see anything obvious on vid) or snapped axle?
The amount of skill and concentration needed to drive such a large vehicle is exceptional, but as Dave says, something so big and heavy with that amount of fuel too is a time bomb in the wrong hands.

 

+1 nodders usually just veer off course, nothing quite as dramatic as that!!!

unless he jumped when waking up? (i haaate that feeling)

 

i was on nights in grimsby doing 70 miles each way each night for 3 months.... the jump feeling isn't as bad as the rumble rumble open eyes... 90mph in the central reservation feeling!!!! not done it since!!!

 

I thought the guy in the white tranny had got off lucky until he rolled it further down. Not good.

 

**** me
Never know what could happen to ya, that other lorry driver just couldn't do anything to save himself

 

If you look closer... The first car just had time to brake and then the first truck took him into the red truck the 2nd car went under the trailer he had no where to go because the red truck was at the side of him. No matter who you are or how good a driver you think you are no one would have been able to get out of the way of that...

44 TONNE CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE... @ 54Mph

 

What about the driver of the truck right at the end making off towards the camera!!!!

 

Saw that a while ago, still scary !
