  • He made a mistake, he nodded off, it happens to cars, trucks, motor bikes, (yes motorbikes), he didn't set out to do it, the main message here should be that it's a warning to ALL road users.

  • Its amazing what one little second can do, any more and the Big Rig would have lost control, the Van would have been demolised and flipped over more then just that suddle flop. PAY ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING!!!! I cant stress this enough people, if your sleepy or on meds PULL OVER. This guy probably had is whole life flash before his eyes. I wouldnt say he reacted on time, he just LUCKY to be alive!

see all

  • I had a truck go wide over a blind hill and corner....forced me off the road and into the gravel on the side but he defiantly would have wiped out the drivers side of the car (the side I was on). I was on L plates.

  • @Johncarson9113 LUCKY TO BE ALIVE U SAY if it wasnt for the truck drivers fast responce if you look the driver of the truck turns his truck left to avoid hitting head on hes clearly over the white line. Nice truck driving if u ask me and wanker van driver!

  • What an absolute fucking idiot......our hearts are still racing! Australia is a huge country with long roads with long hours of driving yet idiots like this continue to play russian roulette not only with their lives but lives of others.....makes us really mad! Rule of mouth in Australia is drive for 2 hours then rest for 15 minutes....get out of the car, have a drink and walk around before commencing again!

  • @littlescotty1987 - Speed is only part of the equation. F=M*A (force equals mass times acceleration). You have to take into account the mass and speed of both the van and the road train, to work out what sort of damage is going to occur.

  • fucking miners

  • @bdouble77 No, its 100kmh in all states, except for mobile cranes which is 80kmh.

  • He didnt see it...he was asleep...and we have the stupid police saying "what more can we do". these people are off in Noddy land.Driver EDUCATION is part of the equation. and aim it at DRIVER TIREDNESS. Not a thing is taught about this insidious killer when you go for a license. untill this killer is tackled in an appropriate way, and I am talking about ALL people who drive ANY vehicle, people will continue to kill themselves along with other innocent road users... I rest my case.

  • LOL

  • @littlescotty1987 100 for WA and NT, 90 everywhere else.
