I can't explain, just watch. I think this is recent as I have seen it making the rounds on Facebook today. Thank GOD for drivers like the one in the yellow truck! He handled to the best of his ability and luckily his ability was good. #### happens FAST!

Yep that is a love tap on the black nissan. Stupid idiot. Wanted that exit too. All the way from the left.
This video is authentic, dry pavement too. Nice ... nice save. No need for coffee on this one. Make that TWO saves when other truck gets it out of the midfield. With a left curve coming up to boot.
I hate to say it, throw this onto the list of stuff safety never hears about as far as Im concerned. ive been there done that. Beautiful.QuietStorm, Lepton1 and Dna Mach Thank this. -
Keep trying to pause the video for the overhead road sign but it's to blurry. I want to say it was out east....Virginia or the Carolinas maybe.
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
What I reeeallly loved was the act at the end, getting power back onto the drives in a gear somewhere in the tree on the stick, mentally resolving to roll on. No big deal maybe.
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Im out of habit on signs. Looks like a exit 49 for a route 6? Delaware? I have to guess here because it's been so long.
Got it. It's freaking West Chester PA. I bet the farm on that. It's Delaware., Boy did those trees get big.
Or a west chester Oh?Dna Mach Thanks this. -
I don't apply my brakes hard enough to cause a jack knife. If I can help it, I don't even hit the brakes hard enough to shift my load. Car pulls a stunt like that, I'll cream them LONG before I wreck myself trying to avoid them. ESPECIALLY with a dash cam rolling! Seriously, guy almost takes himself and another trucker out to spare a car driver who, if left to his own devices, would have succumbed to Darwin's theory long ago thereby voluntarily removing himself from the gene pool.
I've got a family to get home to. If you don't feel the same way, don't expect ME to disappoint MY family just to spare YOUR family a few tears.Friday, Longarm, QuietStorm and 17 others Thank this. -
After a quick refresh on signage. It's Chester Virginia off 295, Meadowville Technology Parkway, there is like a rte 10 before that exit.
Dna Mach Thanks this. -
You don't have a choice sometimes with physics. A set of drives may grab harder than the other set. When something like like this comes up, there is a rule that you HAVE to get that truck back before she folds all the way onto the trailer. That man did so. I have.
We cannot see the mirriors here. SO who knows? The whole trailer may simply have slid with him. There is nothing for us to go on.
Yes, it is a valid option, take the black car out. If you are gonna miss him by this much, mark him anyway. And then settle the yelling, safety, inspections, tickets from the law etc.
Pesonally I have two cars I brought across my bumper and held to it twice in my time. Im not proud of it but It's no problem, better than watching them spin off and over turn ejexcting people.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Virginia is the WINNAH.

Yup I completely agree with pedigree bulldog. If that would have been me that car would have bought it.
