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…
Omg. Frightening! The fear in the driver’s scream says it all.
Frightening. Unfortunately, I’ve been there in this scenario…but not in a semi…
Yikes.
Yep!
I wonder if he ever got back in that truck again.
Frightening…
Why and how was this recording WHILE he was driving??? Inquiring minds would like to know! Yikes!
His hands were on the wheel. He had a Dash Cam. See more here:

Ok…wow! I feel better now! 🙂
Good!
why did I watch this? Aaargh. need more wine.
Laughing. Friday Night Horror Flick…
Would it be to crass to say: “Let’s say” moron?
You might be too kind in your choice of words…
YIKES! I know he sounded a bit panicked. But – for what he was going through – he handled it rather calmly & well.
I thought so too RoSy…
Oh my gosh!!Wow..you pray like crazy!
No kidding!
cold sweat
and check your shorts.
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.
short film in Horror
Looked like a scene from a James Bond movie – held my breath for 27 seconds..
Yep, me too.
Very scary… 🙁
very!
I think most of us would need a change of undies after that!

Laughing. No doubt about that!
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
