I've never seen anything like it! It's strange that it only came to light due to a youtube video.

it just looks strange to me !!!!

firstly the tyres would just give up partly due to the driver slamming her brakes on the entire time (no sparks from rims)

secondly would you really be able to travel at those speeds with a car firmly stuck on the front (speed limiter)

the guy with the camera was going some....

mmmmm!!!!

I used to drive trucks and its very hard to see whats directly infront of you due to the dash obstructing your view.

I've no idea how the car ended up there.

The guy in the car with the camera, should of accelerated infront of the truck and stuck on his hazards, to indicate to the driver there was a problem.. Its looks like a tanker, wonder what it was carrying..

Nar mate, much better to wait 2 minutes until your passenger gets their camera out and film some poor sod nearly getting killed.

So one frosty morning I was driving along the M40 into a traffic queue just outside High Wycombe - about 60mph, and on an elevated section. Must have been black ice ...

I just touched the brakes and the van did a pirouette, one and a half circles with me, eyes closed and foot on the brake. I thought I was going over the edge.

I opened my eyes, and found I was on the hard shoulder pointing the wrong way, and everyone had stopped - I was able to start off again, shaking like a leaf.

Looking at the rain on that road, I can understand how the car could have spun sideways and ended up in front of the lorry ...

You can't blame the lorry driver unless you know how it happened.
