Lorry pushing car (ORIGINAL UPLOAD) 07-02-10

[vinyldude1210]

[jsarg1975]

[katiebaby1]

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, lorry is used instead of truck, but only used for the medium and heavy types; i.e. a van or an off-road four-wheel drive vehicle such as a Jeep may rarely be called a truck in the United States, but would never be regarded as a lorry in the UK or Ireland. The same applies to the initials HGV (for Heavy Goods Vehicle), which is basically synonymous with lorry. What the Americans call a station wagon (a type of automobile) is called an estate car in the UK.

[jsarg1975]

Americans can be so dumb! Apparently there isn't a world outside the US! I guess the main question should be why do they call it a truck? Considering they apparently speak English!

[vical87]

@jsarg1975 A lorry in your country, a truck in ours. Americans speak, AMERICAN. Australians speak, AUSTRALIAN. English speak, ENGLISH, all from English dialect, but all different, SILLY.

[joebingo49]

@vical87 Actually, we all speak the English Language, Americans speak the American English Dialect, Australians speak the Australian English Dialect and the English speak English.

The Language is the root, and dialects are regional variants on the root language :)

it's good that the law is now,every truck which is made in 2010..has to have one of those mirror's at the front so the driver can see right down thebumper so it can help stop accidents like this.

thats what i heard^^ it's a great vid,good you had your phone or camra with you :)

[CPTWu]

I know the guy driving the lorry

[mraberrant]

What's a lorry driver???

[19xXx87]

a truck driver...

[mraberrant]

@19xXx87 well obviously, but why the hell do you call it a lorry

[filmnet]

@mraberrant why the hell do you call it a "truck"? It's a lorry.

[chaplinb5112]

@mraberrant ur american, u call it a truck, i'm british i call it a lorry

[mraberrant]

@chaplinb5112 Good 'nuff.

[TheGebs24]

@chaplinb5112 Fucking right!!!

I saw a news clip about this and as far as I can remember, the woman driver was saying she got hit by another car, flipped around and was pushed into the way of the truck and the truck driver didn't see her for a minute and then he pulled over. They both were thankfully not hurt (though, and I agree with her, the woman driver said that she was reluctant to drive on the highway anymore).

[CookieDough711]

WOW

[laytonwhoitis]

simply fascinating and sure as hell terrifying

[jessnjax1]

Saw that on Calender news today. I was shocked to see that!! Poor woman.

[ultimatemegadeath]

so, why wasn't this truck driver put in jail? suspended? that's a joke. I have driven truck for many years. a person would have to be nothing short of legally blind to not see a blue car, or any other type of vehicle! he should've been thrown in jail for attempted vehicular homicide. even if he didn't mean it. he put a person's life at risk. amnd that's not counting the other driver on the A1!

[SIRSMITH08]

women drivers

[Doubleringer]

Just shows the tanker driver is on the ball then - not! , she could have died, I bet he was on his mobile phone

[MikeHuntagape]

Which part of the A1 was it billy?

ABC news were trying to say it was in west yorkshire.

Anyway.. If I saw that, I'd have been rubbing my eyes!

[Billy29x]

yeh it was west yorkshire, near Wetherby :)

[Wolf9an9]

This is how it could happen: watch?v=V1LM8TtSLZ0

[emmanamba]

@Billy29x did you see how the car got there???

[inglesitaa23]

it seems like abit of a prank but there again that can happen

[EliteTheft]

just seen this on news tonight, how crazyy!!

[jeppo59]

No, its not lorry drivers that cause all the accidents, a lot is caused by stupid car drivers cutting them up all the time. Understand it takes lorrys a lot longer than cars to stop due to the weight there carrying.

[ultimatemegadeath]

@jeppo59, I can't argue that. in fact that's a very good point. car driver's do have a fascination with driving like they own the road. as do some truck drivers. as i posted before this, the truck driver should've slowed and stopped. or better yet, horned the driver. either way,, the driver is at fault and should've gotten worse than a suspension.

[Jorzbalzla]

"I hate lorry drivers"

"Especially on the motorways"

You must be taking the piss love.

[TridentTrucking]

@BhamMissy79 you may hate us but we bring you everything, the computer you typed this on to the food in your belley to the clothes on your back even the house your in, the car driver was found at fault for this accident she had conducted an undertake manouver in court she was given a £200 fine and 6 points for driving without due care, your views on us orry drivers are dumbfounded we are more qualified to drive than most drivers and if i put you in my truck you probably will have no clue.

[emmanamba]

billy29x was it you who actually videod this?????

[a74w]

where is the smoke from the tiers???

[Billy29x]

the road was too wet

[Jorzbalzla]

It's Britain. That's German for "fucking rainy"

[emmanamba]

the stupid woman in the clio shouldn't have pulled out infront of him.

[monkey01302]

wow you did such a good job of letting him know.
