Friends of mine were hit in their Clio by a LH drive lorry pulling over into their lane and not seeing them. Their car was shoved from his right hand side, across the front of the truck and spat out on the left hand side and he didn't notice.
Like the previous poster stated, the wight of a little car compared to what an HGV can pull is nothing!
I like to hurtle along in the outside lane where it's safe, well away from lorries!

Didn't Singletrack have a similar, long-running thread?
"Could a helicopter take off from a moving / rotating platform"... Or something like that.
I stand corrected on all accounts, blimey.
And just for the record, I was involed in trucks most of my younger years working, so i am aware of the power but just thought that the trucker would have noticed a braking effect when he changed gears!!!
Anyway thats what you get for having a french car.
Watch the responses to this one
