Lorries don't have very good visibility.
 
It seems, as the driver was oblivious to this:

YouTube Video
Error: If you cannot see this video, then either YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed to play it.

Now I'm not completely convinced that it's genuine, but if it is, well... WTF!

Well there's someone driving the car - you can see the brake lights go on & off.
Bit strange the lorry has no traffic around it, but a solid wall of traffic behind it - bit like the Police are keeping traffic back from the incident.

Other than that I wouldn't be surprised if the driver couldn't see the width of a car right in front (below) of his cab, and seeing big trucks like that just bulldoze other vehicles out of the way in police chases I'm not surprised if he didn't feel it slowing him down :roll: either

For those of us at work who can not see the video, any chance of a good old fashioned linky?

don't know what linky could be provided if you can't see you tube. But it looks like a fuel* lorry driving along a motorway while pushing a car along broadside in front of it.

*probably not fuel, but some other liquid

I just been on the Arclid (company of truck) website to see if they mentioned anything about it. They didn't but that company is either run by a funny or naive man.
Here's how they just described their new chemical delivery truck:

Must be fake, wouldn't the car tyres grip more, make more smoke, roll the car?? Couldn't the car accelerate out to the sid eof the lorry? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
