Fast n Furious fail?

How can this happen, seriously?

 

[Philip.]

Lorry jacking fail.

Not enough lowz!

Stick around this forum long enough and you'll find many incidents which defy reason even more heroically.

I love the first comment 'You forgot to mention his 16 tonne roof rack'

How an earth do you end up under a truck!

 

[geordieracer]

i am thinking the lorry moved across as they quite often do:

"I have my indicator on therefore I can change lanes, you will just have to move."

Or perhaps the lorry went to change lanes, and the car was in his blind spot?

Wow thats a good'un lol.Maybe it was a LHD lorry and just pulled out, the painted calipers and exhaust say otherwise thou

I actually saw this yesterday on the way to Burnley! Looked horrific

So if this happened to 90% of the forum users on here who still owns clio's it would more than likely be their fault because they painted their calipers and have an aftermarket exhaust?

What a stupid thing to say.

I think its stupid suggesting that 90% of forum members could make such a error mate. dont troll what I say. I'm sorry you spent all Saturday painting your calipers and not everyone thinks its cool lol

Comments are better than the article!

A friend of the driver (and previous owner of misplaced vehicle) said it was a NSF blow out that sent him veering under a lorry. Could happen to anyone I suppose and I don't think there are many drivers who could keep a car in lane if it had a serious blow out, but low and behold the comments section is awash with people slating young drivers.

I thought lorrys all have to have those bars between the wheels on the trailer to stop this sort of thing happening?

Someone wasn't concentrating, surely.

Trucks have to have side barriers to stop cars going under, but they dont come straight upto the tractor unit because it could catch when the trucks turning. If the barrier wasn't there the trailer would probably have gone over the car!
