Truck Driver Shows Excellent Reflexes - Avoids Imminent Crash

Whenever you cut off a speeding truck, the next thing you expect is for it to plough into the back of your car with tremendous force, due to the extreme inertia it carries around. This is not because truck drivers are bad at what they do, it`s just that it’s very difficult to make sudden maneuvers when at the wheel of something which weighs at least ton tons.
In this video, the driver of a black Lada Niva probably does not see the approaching truck, and enters its lane, from a smaller side road. The truck driver slams on the brakes, and narrowly avoids the inattentive driver, in a tire smoke-filled maneuver worth watching, and watching again.

There were literally just a few meters in it, which represents a very small distance to maneuver a truck, which is also towing a large trailer behind it. Thankfully, the driver’s quick reflexes saved the day, yet this is a happy case in a world filled with truck-on-car accidents.
