Summer is the time for long highway drives to rest areas. And it’s time to remember about caution, as well as the most basic traffic rules. For example, that it is impossible to cross a double continuous marker line. And before overtaking, make sure the maneuver is safe. Does it sound too simple and obvious? As you can see in the video below, not for everyone.
A narrow road surface, one lane in each direction, a long climb with a left turn, rocks on one side, a concrete threshold on the other. Who would think of overtaking in such a place? For those who are very, very fast!
It is a pity that the victim was not destined to reach his destination. After famously overtaking a car and building it into the stream, the man immediately steers the crosswalk back into the oncoming lane, barely missing the truck.
The problem is that a passenger car was hiding behind the truck, which the driver simply couldn’t see beforehand. And when he saw it, he made a desperate – sharp and clearly failed – attempt to return to his job.
The consolation is that only the only car that caused the accident was sustained in the situation. And that the blow, although impressive, of course did not lead to fatal consequences.
- A pedestrian in Nizhny Novgorod was also lucky: he barely wiped his legs from an uncontrollable car.
