I wouldn't even attempt filtering through that in slow moving traffic.

That it does indeed!!!! He done well to come off the way he did. Quick reactions/instincts mixed with adrenaline deciding the best place to crash. :eek2

A hard lesson he learnt, never filter between two moving lorries.

He would have been all right if he hadn't panicked......................................................................................................................................... :wink:

Of course he shouldn't have even tried. It could have been a lot worse,

Well... From my judgement of the speed, albeit flawed from a video, he plain and simple never needed to try... He could most likely have stopped, had he hit the brakes hard... Or, he should really have been aware of it sooner, slowing down... To me, two lorries side by side is a definite warning... I would have braked hard halfway to the small car, just in case...

Ouch! Lucky he didn't get more friendly with one of those truck wheels!

The gap looks easily big enough between the lorries, it was his panicking that made him wobble around and clip one. He shouldn't have been staring at his left hand at 70mph...

Or maybe he just temporarily forgot he WASN'T this guy http://youtu.be/r7vd67lk4jQ

The gaps between the lorries for the Ghostrider are massive in comparison. You could get a small car through them. The guy in the original footage was always going to clip mirrors.

I think Sirch and Tweety are right. If he never panicked and came to a controlled emergency stop he may have escaped that. Either way he was travelling too fast and not watching the road ahead.
