I don't know why everyone is worried about them....

YouTube- lorry driver doesn't see car

....oh.

**wesaywow** · 2010-03-17T07:35:12+00:00

Holy shit!

**roadwarrior** · 2010-03-17T07:41:16+00:00

mental

**C:V** · 2010-03-17T08:08:36+00:00

Why is the film crew not honking instead of OMG I'm putting this on Youtube? Fucking idiots.

**izgard** · 2010-03-17T08:41:00+00:00

oh lordy lordy

**not4sale** · 2010-03-17T09:03:58+00:00

What the !?
What happened next ?

**finger_jockey** · 2010-03-17T09:28:29+00:00

That's some blind spot.

**hippy** · 2010-03-17T09:29:48+00:00

FUcking hell! Put that in TFLs 'blind spot' cyclist education setups..

**Coaster** · 2010-03-17T09:47:49+00:00

sheeet

**dicki** · 2010-03-17T10:09:51+00:00

how can that be true seriously
a truck whizing along the motorway at 50 with a car attached to the front
not 100% sure about that

**spenceey** · 2010-03-17T10:11:37+00:00

Seriously WTF. Would be interesting (word used lightly) to see how that actually happened though, surely the lorry would have had some kind of impact with the car before it started pushing it along.

Not the only time

**Smallfurry** · 2010-03-17T10:16:09+00:00

Not the only time

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

**hoonz** · 2010-03-17T10:16:46+00:00

It's pretty much a blind spot down there, a woman on holloway road was killed because a truck drove over her as she walked in front of it through semi-stationary traffic, the roofline of that clio is lower than most peoples heads.

**kboy** · 2010-03-17T10:17:34+00:00

fuckin hell!

**hoonz** · 2010-03-17T10:17:55+00:00

Anything object that tells me it's "smart" in it's product name must be a really dumb idea.

**spenceey** · 2010-03-17T10:18:25+00:00

This one as well from a while back - really fucking shocking.

**szeliaxe** · 2010-03-17T11:17:18+00:00

I'm sure they would've realised. It's quite an old clip no?

**Velocio** · 2010-03-17T11:33:22+00:00

You know, Arclid will probably get it pulled from YouTube now because it's got their logo on it and that's trademarked.

**hippy** · 2010-03-17T11:34:02+00:00

Doesn't stop other people hosting it..
