Truck Driver Causes Accident and Sends Polo Swirling, SA Shares Bad Lorry Stories: “A Law Unto Themselves”

• A truck changed lanes and hit a Polo in a video, causing the car to spin around, and it prompted Mzansi to share their bad lorry experiences
• Drivers of these large vehicles need to be aware of a lot of things, especially the various blindspots around the heavy contraptions
• Peeps across the country came together to share their problems about driving with trucks on the road

Being sandwiched between a truck and a wall can be scary. The worst outcome of this situation was experienced by one unlucky polo driver, who had his car rear-ended and spun around when a truck tried to change lanes.

The clip comes from none other than the @VehicleTrackerz page, which uploaded the footage onto their Twitter account. It sparked a passionate discussion about how truck drivers are on South African roads.

The video is quite short, showing the truck rear-ending a Polo when it tried to change lanes, causing the car to be spun around.

The footage has inspired a large discussion about truck road safety in the country. Some came to the defence of the truck driver, while others shared similar stories. See the comments below:
