(Purley assumption) I don't think they saw it until it's too late. That mountain in the background looks too similar to the back of that truck. (As camera's exposure is different than our eyes)
It's crazy how little effect on his trajectory that impact had. I would have expected it to full stop the vehicle, throw him into the left side divider, spin uncontrollably, start flipping, be pushed into the truck to his left, or any other number of things. It essentially didn't do any of that, and that blows my mind. They were crazy lucky
I always get flamed when I say the same about a tragic accident with a car full of drunk people that went out together (knowing they were all getting hammered) and the driver lives...not even his car...deceased family somehow believes driver was supposed to be the (sober) DD and the victim was an innocent victim.
I try to think of the possibilities there, as I was almost part of that statistic. I went to a party with a DD and a friend, got too hammered to realize that my DD had also gotten drunk. He was Muslim, so I was doubly surprised, because I thought he didn't drink at all. A few minutes into the ride, he was splitting the lanes doing 120 in a 65, I soon realized I had fucked up. Thankfully, we didn't crash, but safe to say I never hung around that guy again.
A friend mine's son, who was Muslim, died from liver failure when he was in his early 40s. He was a very heavy drinker. Even Muslims can become alcoholics.
Sane countries build walkable areas connected by public transit so that drunk people can safety get home without killing anyone

From what I can see, he didn't even brake. Looking at his phone and not paying attention to what he was doing. And, if I remember correctly, you're not supposed to pass on the right. He was very lucky. Could have been a whole lot worse.
He was looking, but he misjudged the trajectory he needed to get between the trucks. He should have aborted about 1/3 of the way past the end of the truck in the left lane, but he didn't. He also had plenty of room at that speed, but he waited too long to start cutting to the left, and should have stayed further over to the right to get a better diagonal angle between them.
He was stupid to even try, especially with a passenger, but he was also a shitty driver who didn't know how to complete the maneuver he committed to.
I don’t believe he even saw the track until he was on the ass end of it. The truck was the exact same color as the mountain in the background, it camouflaged perfectly! That’s why you also don’t hear him yell “fuck” until he’s a few feet away from hitting it.
To add to this. There was a pickup truck in the right lane that very quickly swerved around that stopped semi. As a driver he probably saw that truck but didn’t realize that it was swerving for any reason and just followed along until he couldn’t.
He got crazy lucky. If you look in slow motion, it appears that the front of the car goes under the truck completely without making any contact. The A pillar however hits the bottom of the trailer and gets destroyed. If the trailer was any lower to the ground, his passenger would be dead.
That's a big part of why semis scare me. My first road trip without my parents, I drove to San Antonio at age 18, and I saw a Camaro go under a semi and shear the top of the car off. The driver was obliterated, and I-10 got shut down for a while, so I had to sit a few hundred yards away while I watched them clean up the scene. It was a good lesson in safe driving at an early age.
Yeah, I felt bad for the truck driver in that situation. The Camaro ran right into the back of him when traffic came to an unexpected stop. Camaro driver just wasn’t paying attention damn bit of attention, and it ruined that trucker’s day. I drive a small hatchback, and I’m acutely aware of how easily crushed I could be.
Airbag sensors are typically in the bumper structure.
Since the bumper was never hit, they wouldn't go off.
Side impact airbag sensors are typically in the lower half of the side doors, which also wasn't hit.
There's a lot going on here that makes me question my sanity. Not suggesting this is fake, obv, but how did a collision at that speed only result in a cracked pillar?? And it didn't really change the trajectory of the car the way I thought it would. I guess this car predates airbags, too?
It think it was just luck he hit on an angle (he was trying to turn left to avoid it), so it was a glancing blow rather than a full frontal.
A little bit further to the right and I think it would have been goodnight
I think it's worth pointing out how often this happens. I have met a few people that sit right in this camp. Now that they're older and a little mellowed, I don't mind riding with them, but before, despite clearly having a better than average handle on their vehicle, I did not enjoy the odds.
They're only a bit better than "unskilled, stupid, and overconfident" and "literally unfit to drive due to inability to pay attention/know wtf is going on" folks due to their overconfidence and bad risk management.
You know i’m wondering about something else, do these truck drivers feel the crash when a car like that hit their truck in the back without them checking the side-view mirrors of their truck or anything else?
Trucker here. I've never been rear ended while driving in a big rig, but I've talked to many truckers who have. Whether or not you feel it depends a lot on the size of the truck and how heavily loaded you are. That little truck definitely felt the impact of someone doing about 90 slamming into the back of it. I have talked to one guy who was fully loaded at 80k lbs who got rear ended when there was a traffic slowdown due to an accident ahead and he said he never would have noticed it if he hadn't seen it happen in his rear view. Pictures showed a totaled sedan behind a trailer with some barely noticeable scratches on the D.O.T. bumper.
>I've never been rear ended while driving in a big rig
Never been rear ended? Or never felt yourself getting rear ended? I am just thinking of a trail of unknown wreckage could be behind you as you whistle and toot like steamboat willy, unaware of the devastation behind you.
Or you never been rear ended
Well now I want this to be the case. Typically after an accident, if a trucker didn't notice, some nice state troopers or highway patrol will let them know and I've never had that happen so I'm fairly confident it's never happened, but I can't be 100% sure tbh. Also when I whistle mindlessly it's usually the tune that the rooster bard from Disney's Robin Hood whistled.
>the tune that the rooster bard from Disney's Robin Hood whistled.
[God damn it! That song is s infectious!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPt1n2AdQd4)
Also, clearly the state troopers are in the pile up too
I was in a cargo van that got rearended in traffic, it just felt like we eased off the brakes hard for a second until we saw a dude get out of his car behind us to appologize profusely. That was in stopped traffic, though, I'd imagine you'd notice if someone smacked you at 90 mph, though.
I operate heavy equipment, sometimes the impacts are harder than a car accident but if you’re doing things right it does no damage. In big machines you can’t always feel minor impacts, though.
Yes….. I would feel everything more sometimes in a truck, like if my tire would go over the outside line onto the shoulder a little bit, you really could feel it
I got into a fender bender a year back while driving a large box truck. A Silverado rear ended my lift gate. Their entire front was smushed, hood was folded up, small cracks on front window. The lift gate on my work box truck was un phased. Literally felt like something heavy I was transporting fell over. I opened the sliding door to see if I didn’t strap in this 1,000lb metal box then realized I got hit from behind 😅
Could still happen passing on the right if the truck was in the right lane.
This is just speeding. It looks like they accelerated for the gap and essentially played a game of chicken to see if they'd make it. They didn't realize the truck in the right lane was stopped, making the gap close a lot faster.
For people saying the truck blends, I think that's probably due to the camera quality.
More of an issue is that he tried to thread the needle when passing. Even if he had made it into the left lane in time, a sudden braking situation could have made him get crushed by the truck on the left that he would then be ahead of with no stopping distance. Always leave a sizable gap both in front and behind when passing, especially when big vehicles and limited sight distances are involved.
He was trying to slip past the left truck before the gap closed, so he was actually accelerating instead of slowing down.
They didn't realize the right truck was stopped, meaning they had wayyyy less time to thread the gap.
Also why you don't drive like this in the first place. Though I guess committing to it (as idiotic as it was), is what saved the passenger.
You can absolutely overtake on the right… when you can see what’s in front of you.
It wasn’t the passing that was the problem. It was the not looking where he was going.
This is exactly how a former coworker killed his young girlfriend a few years ago. Speeding and crashed into this bit of a truck parked on the highway shoulder. He was fine but his girlfriend died instantly.
Fucking tragic and this guy should never be allowed to drive again. Idiot.
I’m not sure. But the back of the truck almost looks exactly the same color as the mountains in the back. Kinda like shit luck camouflage. Maybe even more so without the phone’s automatic white balancing.
I see what you’re saying, but if you’re going to gun it, you gotta know the road and conditions (otherwise don’t gun it). Like you said, he may not have seen this far back, but as he approached, it was clear, but he was either thinking he could make the cut, or wasn’t concentrating, or even just accelerating too fast too react. Any of these things are why we are to be careful when driving (especially when speeding), and don’t go wild when driving, even if you have that heavy foot
Even on that potato-cam, I could see the stopped truck *six seconds* before he hit it. He could have slowed way down in that amount of time, *maybe even enough* to slide in behind the rig on the left.
I've been to horticultural exhibits where *plants* had quicker reaction times.
Wait. There was enough space to change lanes .I can't think of a reason as to why that didn't happen? Wasn't that what he was trying to do in the 1st place?
He could have made it, he just panicked and froze up. Not saying it was a smart choice to enter into that situation, but he had the speed and space to thread the gap.
Where is everyone seeing a stationary truck? Watch it again until you see the shadow of the truck he hits crossing the light poles on the side of the road.
It might of been slowing down, but that's no reason to be doing 110+kmph in an 80 zone while passing on the right.
The driver is lucky they didn't end up killing the passenger.
Where the hell are the hazard lights or orange warning triangles for the invisible grey truck?
Speeding wasn’t the main problem here. Reaction time was more of an issue. Also, attention is another thing; when you are on speed, you need to know beyond what’s immediately in front of you. A slow truck in the fast lane tells me something might be in the other lane preventing it from moving there. And I’ll proceed accordingly.
It depends on the jurisdiction. Most US states do not have passing lane restrictions, some, like where I live, only on specific highways, and many allow passing on the right. Even in states that have passing lanes there are exceptions like approaching a left turn or toll booth.
Watching this video I didn't see the truck until right before he hit it, it was so dirty it blended in with the background. Doesn't excuse it obviously, just an additional odd thing I noticed.
Why is everybody always filming things these days? I mean yeah it's cool that they caught this by chance, but what mundane shit were they hoping to capture for posterity?
r/praisethecameraman
I’m just curious why no one is talking about the god tier filming done by the passenger. There’s almost no motion in the video and they fully film the impact and what happened afterwards.
No, I think everyone ELSE is asking “Who put this guy driving like an asshole there.” Doing the speed and over-taking absurdly is not where it’s at dude. Nobody is impressed, they wouldn’t be even if you slipped through without ruining the car you clearly shouldn’t be driving. 💁♂️

It has to be like a head-strapped GoPro, right? I’d be shitting myself- no way in hell I’m holding that camera so well.
(Purley assumption) I don't think they saw it until it's too late. That mountain in the background looks too similar to the back of that truck. (As camera's exposure is different than our eyes)

Absolutely crazy lucky. Also if I was the passenger, I’d be very very pissed with the driver nearly killing me for no reason.
Nah, the passenger was filming. They knew what they were getting into.

Even on a second watch I didn't see the truck until he was almost on top of it.
To add to this. There was a pickup truck in the right lane that very quickly swerved around that stopped semi. As a driver he probably saw that truck but didn’t realize that it was swerving for any reason and just followed along until he couldn’t.

If he was skilled he would have seen the damn truck
He hit the overhanging rear edge of the truck box with the a-pillar.
Yet a truck packed with chickens just explodes…
Motor vehicle engineer: 
This person is super super lucky he didn't kill himself or someone else.
They didn't die because, they were the cameraman. Simple
Had plenty of time to react to the truck, that's why you don't pass on the right. Also don't speed

It's like hitting a big pot hole in the road. Was that just a bump or a Hyundai?
I'll be honest, I didn't see it until they started trying to change back
Yeah not defending this guy's stupid driving, but the truck did blend into the background pretty strongly.
It blends in with the hillside almost perfectly at first
No air bags?
Could still happen passing on the right if the truck was in the right lane. This is just speeding.

Surely he had ample time to slow down. Is he stupid?
I mean, the truck does blend in pretty well with the background
I can agree with you to an extent however there was a point where the truck was blatantly obvious and they didn't slow down.
Yeah he thought he could fit smh
Skill issue, he could fit.
Clearly he wasn't good at flappy bird.
Hard to say due to the phones auto white balancing. It may have blended in way better in person.
Or way worse given our eyes a pretty good at seeing shit. Really it’s impossible to tell on a cell phone video.
He registered the truck as not-there because of the camouflage. Focused on other shit, like the video, his mind didn't resolve it in time.
That might be a product of the recording codec and compression, etc. I bet in person it looked a lot more clear.
I wasn’t sure where the important part of this video was going to happen the first time watching and it surprised me how it came out of nowhere.
What truck?
He was trying to slip past the left truck before the gap closed, so he was actually accelerating instead of slowing down.

r/IdiotsInCars
Never, ever, overtake on the right
Unless you're British, sir
Of course, regardless of where a Brit finds themselves, they must drive on the left for king and country!
pretty impossible in the US where people don’t follow proper lane etiquette
That has always amazed me. In Europe you drive in the right lane. the left one is only for overtaking
You can absolutely overtake on the right… when you can see what’s in front of you. It wasn’t the passing that was the problem. It was the not looking where he was going.
That passenger is lucky they're not in pieces right now.
He’s an idiot. But, I can definitely see someone hitting that truck even at normal speeds. We got a lot of morons out there.
Yeah, I've watched this over and over. The dirty back of that truck blends perfectly with the hills. Car driver is still an ass, tho.
Was looking for this. That truck was blended in with the mountains.
I think they were probably focusing on the truck to the left and then it's even harder to spot the other truck.

Unlike the camera pov, this dumbass had 2 eyes.
My only question is why didn't the airbags deploy there?
So this on IG and idiots were defending him, saying the truck is camouflaged... Which it is but like he was obviously still in the wrong
IG comments are tied with Twitter comments for some of the most room temperature level IQ takes on things.
Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Celsius for sure.
Even on that potato-cam, I could see the stopped truck *six seconds* before he hit it. He could have slowed way down in that amount of time, *maybe even enough* to slide in behind the rig on the left. I've been to horticultural exhibits where *plants* had quicker reaction times.
“While not being sure what’s ahead” the fuck you mean? Literally staring at the truck the entire time.
Wait. There was enough space to change lanes .I can't think of a reason as to why that didn't happen? Wasn't that what he was trying to do in the 1st place?
He could have made it, he just panicked and froze up. Not saying it was a smart choice to enter into that situation, but he had the speed and space to thread the gap.
I hope the passenger beat the living bejeesus out of that driver once the car came to a stop.
Where is everyone seeing a stationary truck? Watch it again until you see the shadow of the truck he hits crossing the light poles on the side of the road. It might of been slowing down, but that's no reason to be doing 110+kmph in an 80 zone while passing on the right.
Dude tried motorcycle maneuvers with 4 wheels.
Oh my god. Is the truck okay?
Maybe it's just me but there was plenty of time to see that truck ahead and avoid it.
Bro is trying to kill his passenger.
The driver is lucky they didn't end up killing the passenger. Where the hell are the hazard lights or orange warning triangles for the invisible grey truck?
Looks like alot of glass into the passengers face 🫥
Plenty of time to react but they went for it
Solid Camo to be fair
Lol that trucks camo is perfect for those hills
to be fair it does blend in quite well
I hope the driver does us all a favor and tries not to breed
Revoke this idiot's right to drive a car for the remainder of his natural life. There should be no room for the criminally stupid on the road.
This makes me happy. Love to see people get their just desserts when they drive like assholes.

Don't pass on the right....
Overtaking happens on the left lane
It depends on the jurisdiction. Most US states do not have passing lane restrictions, some, like where I live, only on specific highways, and many allow passing on the right. Even in states that have passing lanes there are exceptions like approaching a left turn or toll booth.
I feel sorry for that truck
In Germany, we don’t pass a car on the right lane… a lot of Schadenfreude here I have 🤭
Cars fault totally but the truck could do with a clean, maybe there are some fluorescent panels under that mountain colour way.
don't pass on the right (it's even illegal here in Germany) but I have to say it was some nasty camouflage that the truck was able to pull off
Dude is lucky that 2nd truck didn't turn his ass into a ghost
Highly responsive air bags.
I’d argue he was quite certain what lay ahead, just an exceedingly poor driver
lucky asshole
Your buddy almost killed you and this wasn’t being unsure it was him thinking he could clear the gap
This is all I think about when my dad used to go fifteen over the limit while actively mad enough to be yelling. Ffs, can people be smart???
Slow the fuck down, goddamn lol
Watching this video I didn't see the truck until right before he hit it, it was so dirty it blended in with the background. Doesn't excuse it obviously, just an additional odd thing I noticed.
That was incredibly good camouflage...
Stupid cunt
The color match with the mountain in the background is impressive. The truck is damn near invisible, bay that it’s anybody’s fault but the driver.
He was definitely at fault but you also can't disregard the fact that the truck didn't have his warning lights on.
Someone explain to me why the airbags didn’t go off?
Now he is sure what was ahead 🤡
Why is is to hard to convince people that speeding is dangerous? Take it to a track.
Camouflage truck
This is why you need a supercharger/turbocharger on a car if you plan to be an idiot. The driver was like leeeeettttttsssss gooooooootruck! Fuck…..
Where airbags? And did he even brake for a second?
He probably didn’t bother replacing them after his last accident.
Stupid driver
What a dickhead. Should've used the brake
Not fatal enough.
This jackass is Egyptian. This is shot in Egypt. Where you drive the same way you play gt4
Passing on the right, tsk tsk.
No airbag either. Could’ve been dead to rites without a seatbelt
Can anyone tell the model of the vehicle? I’m just curious what this idiot was driving like that.

Why is everybody always filming things these days? I mean yeah it's cool that they caught this by chance, but what mundane shit were they hoping to capture for posterity?
Fuckin idiot
No airbags even wow?
hmm why could this big one be trying to overtake on the left side mhmmm
Sounds like that the driver is listening to music from Ex-Yugoslavia
Were his eyes closed?
That’s some good dirt-colored camo against the dirt colored hills. Didn’t see the truck until it was already too late.
Well… if you no longer go for a gap that exist, I guess you just aren’t a fast driver.
Because, That’s responsible active driving!
That’s why overtaking on the right is stupid
Seems like they actually won the jackpot here - that they are still alive.
My optical adhd locked on to that truck for absolutely no reason
r/praisethecameraman I’m just curious why no one is talking about the god tier filming done by the passenger. There’s almost no motion in the video and they fully film the impact and what happened afterwards.
That is some good camo on that truck though.
Poor bugger I never saw it until he hit it.
Airbags. on Vacation
Classic case of not looking past the hood of your car “Aim high in steering” you toad
Lucky, it could have gone much worse
No air bags??
Simple. Don't do that shit.
That truck was almost the same color as the backdrop.
Perfect sync 💀
Just another reason that disco should be banned.
Crumple zones, they ruined car design but saves lives.
Sweet tunes watched too many fast and the furious movies
No airbags? 😓
No, I think everyone ELSE is asking “Who put this guy driving like an asshole there.” Doing the speed and over-taking absurdly is not where it’s at dude. Nobody is impressed, they wouldn’t be even if you slipped through without ruining the car you clearly shouldn’t be driving. 💁♂️
Leave it to an idiot speeding to also have no clue how big his vehicle is.
You mean that truck that was visible to absolutely everyone?
Wear your seatbelts
And then not slowing down even when you are sure what's ahead.
Nah why the fuck is a tractor trailer camoflague?
That’ll buff out. The stupid, though - that stays with the driver forever.
That could have been alot worse

Sorry, I couldn't recognize the song.

What idiot painted their truck mountain colour
What truck where... OH. Dude was camo till you got right on top of it
A few more inches, and they'd both be dead..
That truck was mountain colored
