A Truck Defies Physics To Avoid Collision on The highway

A few of the drivers in this video should have gone directly to the store to buy lottery tickets, because they got lucky in a situation that could’ve ended pretty badly.

We had to watch it four times before we were sure what had happened. We start out on a ridealong in a dashcam-equipped car entering a freeway (probably in Russia, given the prevalence–and necessity, honestly–of such footage on that country’s roads). Watch that semi-truck that’s in the right lane as the camera car begins to merge: initially, it looks as though the driver pulls off a very risky move, performing a sudden lane change that seemingly defies the laws of tractor-trailer physics.
