Driver 'sent home' yesterday. (w/P45?)

Christ! The A1(M) - I assumed it was in abroad.

To be fair Smart cars are pretty small. I'm forever getting them stuck on my front mudguard.

I know what you mean...

Hate it when that happens.

that is hilarious...

shit-stirrer ;)

interesting that it takes a video to re-open the investigation.

video has been removed now... hmm

still available here YouTube- Lorry doesn't notice the car in front!!

Driver trapped beneath lorry bumper describes terrifying motorway shunt

*Williams then alerted the emergency services on her mobile phone. "I wasn't on hands-free, but I figured I wasn't really driving the car," she told the paper.

The ordeal lasted almost a minute before the lorry driver realised what had happened and stopped on the hard shoulder.
"He didn't seem overly concerned," she said. "He even asked if I thought he needed to hang around."*

It's just lynx and his latest eBay purchase.

This almost slipped under the radar - Sod off it wasn't a renault magnum.

Shock does odd things, and as Hippy said earlier a common accident in the SE. The car driver was very lucky.
