Nope not that, as it states a silver hatchback, whereas in the vid its a blue hatchback.

Doesnt it talk about a silver hatchback being parked up in a layby? Rather than a silver hatchback involved in the crash?

How didn't the Tyres burst/get ripped off the wheels being pushed for that long.

Probably naff all left of them afterwards, just like having a drift session non stop for awhile.

This is what happens when people have a crack at undertaking then cutting up trucks and fail

and you'd be surprised at how much damage you can do in a truck without feeling a thing from the drivers seat, that car would have been completely out of his mirrors so I can see how it happened, but the drivers daft for not noticing at some point there was a car there!

jdh91 · Mar 17, 2010

how is that possible, surely the sound from the impact would've helped him notice.

Yes they are. Since that driver isn't even in the outside lane i don't see how it matters lol

TBH he'd see it and since his trailer is empty he'd certainly feel it.

Probably need to tighten up a few laws.

LISA172 · Mar 17, 2010

Lift axle up doesn't always mean empty trailer..

He should have seen it coming up in his mirrors but he looks like a dozy c*nt who doesn't use them.

From him being in the middle lane, I assume that the car driver has done the same as every other car driver in the world does when they join a motorway with 2 overtaking trucks in the middle lane and undertook a truck then tried to cut through a small car sized gap to get to the outside lane.

Either the cars misjudged it and just tapped the front of the truck or the truck driver sped up and just tapped the back of the car. I'd imagine the truck driver would have noticed it but in that position it wont be in any of his mirrors, so either he was pissed off and felt like pushing the car along for a bit for undertaking him or he is absolutely oblivious to the world outside of his cab..

limited = they cant drive over 56mph because the limiter stops it

Kneel · Mar 17, 2010

its a single fuse in the dashboard and the limiter disappears.

Holy s**t lol

Jamesl172 · Mar 17, 2010

OMG - that cant be real can it......wouldn't the clio be lifted off the ground a bit?

Seems like it is real...was reading about this somewhere else and the lorry driver wouldn't have a clue that the clio is there.

"THIS lorry driver on A1 near Wetherby fails to see the Renault Clio stuck to his bumper. Either that or else he has seen the Clio and is helping the driver conserve fuel.

Or is this just a new way of delivering cars?

As the website for Arclid Transport boats:

Our service is our strength. We have developed an unsurpassed reputation for delivery where you want it, when you want it – swiftly and safely…"

Dear sir,

I have just seen an incident recorded on youtube involving one of your lorries and a Renault Clio car on the A1 near Wetherby.

Link to youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caPmw3OVQMo

Can you inform me of the outcome of this accident please? I would just like to put my mind at rest that the people in the car were not seriously hurt as the incident looked horrific and terrifying.

Regards

Rxxxxx Bxxxxxxxxx
