Let’s say that you are driving this semi-trailer truck.
Let’s say you are hauling 25,000 pounds – a full load.
Let’s say it’s a snow covered road in Ontario, Canada.
Let’s say you are rounding the corner on a two-lane highway.
And let’s say that you see two sets of headlights coming at you
– – One from a Snow Plow
– – The other a fully loaded semi passing the Snow Plow on a double, solid yellow line…
Let’s pretend

His hands were on the wheel. He had a Dash Cam. See more here:

Holy crap! I, too, thought the guy was remarkably composed in light of the fact that he was sandwiched between an 18-wheeler and a guard rail with rather a lot immediately behind his head! Yikes!

I thought the same thing. He was “remarkably” composed.

Terrifying. You would think that other semi driver would have better sense on a snow-covered road like that.

Epilogue: Other driver did not stop to check if “victim” was OK. He left the scene of the accident.

I loved the scream. Whatever he needed to do to keep his head.

Saw this the other day…it became quite a topic of conversation for our instructors (combined they have over 150 years of professional driving experience). They are still discussing it today and plan to use it in class. I’m sitting in on that one because what I saw was an idiot passing, whereas they saw a driver not looking far enough ahead, driving too fast for road conditions, the snow plow slowing down to allow the truck to pass him and the passing truck slowing down to pull back behind the snow plow!!

Glad that something potentially disastrous is being put to good use. Thanks Nat
