Mar 18 2010You're Doing It Wrong!: Speeding 18-Wheeler Pushing Car Down The Highway Sideways
This is a video of a speeding tractor trailer in Yorkshire, England pushing a car down the highway oblivious THAT IT HAS AN AUTOMOBILE STUCK UNDER ITS BUMPER. Just watching it I shit my pants for the car's driver.
The owners of the lorry, Cheshire-based Arclid Transport, and West Yorkshire Police are investigating the incident. A spokesman from the company said: "There was an incident between a car and one of our vehicles in January.
He added that he believed the female driver of the Clio had not been injured in the incident.The company said the lorry driver was sent home on Wednesday, when the video emerged on the internet.
He added that the accident happened on 13 January and police had investigated, but to date no action had been taken against the lorry driver.
Wow. That looks pretty scary. And by scary I mean I love how the woman in the car is riding her brakes, LIKE THAT'S GONNA DO ANYTHING. Women drivers, amirite? (Spoken like a guy who hit a parked car two days ago)
Thanks to Bongo, who once pushed an 18-wheeler down the road without noticing because he drives a monster truck.

Is this an accident or road rage?
3. Daisy - March 18, 2010 5:51 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max goes out to buy a car with his dad, and later it comes to life and protects Max and Baja from the evil police car.

I was in that car filming! I was heading home from Westchestershire to New Bandalstack Station when we saw this. I drove to Worthinghampton to report it.

GW - at least you ADMIT that you hit a parked car!

@Wee Me did you attempt at all to notify the driver of the "lorry" somehow, like by pulling along side the vehicle and honking and waving at him? What the fuck? Was reporting it at Worthinghampton the only thing you were able to do? And what good are all those fucking cameras you guys have. At least one of them must have caught this but it's your video that exposed the insanity.

Saw this on the news today pretty much sums up lorry drivers attitudes on our roads. Oh and GW whats a highway? And I allways thought a tractor trailer was a piece of farming equipment.

I'm moving out too from Lyon to Lille (France, check that on the map) driving a rental van on saturday.
Hopefully my little trip doesn't end up hitting a parked car while 10 blocks from then end, but ht eidea of driving a van instead of a small car is rather stressfull.
16. Birr Murdock - March 18, 2010 7:08 PM
Lorry? LOL you limey bastards.

Speaking as a physics student, it was actually a lot safer than a head on collision, even at a slower speed. Since they were both already going in the same direction, the momentum of the car didn't really change that much. Sorry for getting technical, I just wanted to show off, cause I'm a lot smarter than that truck driver.
18. Skunkontoast - March 18, 2010 8:33 PM
Also what's a limey?
19. atheistgirl - March 18, 2010 8:55 PM
I'm from Yorkshire.
And this is why I don't want to learn how to drive.
20. zipperdude - March 18, 2010 8:57 PM
That actually happened to me about four years ago, but the trucker who did that to me had the decency to stop. You think an engine brake is loud? You should hear one about a foot out your drivers side window. Holy crap. Drove the car home, though.

Is that truck a toyota?

I watched a car turn right in front of a slow moving truck on a highway. Not sure where the car driver thought they were going since the hard left could only block traffic. Truck hit the car and pushed it about a 100 meters because he couldn't see it. Luckily I was in another truck and radioed the driver that a car was caught in his grill. Car driver got the ticket and then carted off to jail for drunk driving. If it had been a dark road without others to see that truck could of pushed that car for a long while.

Speaking as a quantum mechanic with an imaginary hadron, I don't get the fuss. A live human body and a deceased human body have the same number of particles. Structurally there's no difference.

I'm getting bloody tired of the British. They think they own the language, with all their ridiculous words like lorry, spanner, torch, boot, carriageway, bollocks, roger, bum, arse, have it off, bung, puff, bugger, slag, smeg, tart, snog, knockers, slap-and-tickle, spotted dick, wank, her majesty's pleasure, rumpy pumpy, pecker, stiffy, willy, John Thomas, knob, stonker, minge, flange, hairy axe-wound, muff, mooey, fanny, fish paste sandwich, hairy lassoo, furburger, growler, beef curtains, gash, poontang, split whisker, front bum, hairy mary, little man in the boat, hoo-hoo, gateway to her guts, cotsan, hairy gasmask, velvet purse, kipper, and daphne.
I don't even know what any of these even mean!

I am not a moron. I will save the world(I have a plan) and denounce you at the Nobel Prize ceremony.

@25 I'm from Philly and i've used some of those words such as: pecker, stiffy, knob, puff (puff, pass), furburger, poontang and little man in the boat.... i like the sound of a 'hairy gasmask'.... just sayin

@ 25. Watch it you!
You know a lot of euphemisms for vagina and penis.
33. lame comments - March 19, 2010 8:48 AM
Whats the deal with geekologie comments latly - its full of fail retards who seem to post under the illusion they are funny and witty but in all honesty its really kinda pathetic and lame.
sure laughing at your own text might seem cool on the internet, but people in the real world will lock you up for that kinda stuff.....
Wish the site owner would clear up this childish dribble :(
34. Bongo - March 19, 2010 8:55 AM
@3 It's not fake, the accident happened back in January - there are police reports of the scene. It's being looked into again now as authorities & the haulage company didn't realise the extent of the incident.
@7, 16 & 25 You dislike us so much & complain about our ridiculous words but you still use the language we invented. Live & let live people.

ha, you say highway, we say motorway, the silly bit? the lorry's in the bloody fast lane! it's well known that lorry's should stay in the outside lane or the middle lane for like overtaking and shizz.
but, as i pointed out to my friend, why was the lady in the car tooting her horn so the lorry would realise she was there? if that were me, i'd be screaming and whacking the horn with any part of my body i could.
silly woman.

i dont know how the driver of that car got themselves in that situation but holy shit. i mean was that truck drivers vision of the road THAT impaired they couldnt look over their dash and see a car stuck in front of them!? jesus. it is a good thing the road was wet or that small car would have been run over/flipped.
41. Skunkontoast - March 19, 2010 2:07 PM
@37 it's intelectuall comments like that which make you Americans far better than us. Good job dude. :)
42. golfchick - March 19, 2010 3:19 PM
I've actually seen this same thing happen in San Francisco. not fake and scary as hell to watch.
43. Ch4p3l - March 19, 2010 3:36 PM
@42 Was it 2 dudes on the corner or actually 2 vehicles?
44. Scania - March 21, 2010 6:44 PM
A bit ironic that the car (A Renault Clio) was pushed by a truck/lorry marked with ARCLIO...
45. Matt - March 22, 2010 4:54 AM
That car looks exactly like this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230451057921#ht_818wt_958
Its worth a read.

Fucking whore, its not fake go Google stuff before yelling fake.
