DON'T FOLLOW A TRUCK WITH COMPRESSED GAS BOTTLES ON BOARD

It is worth watching to the end, lots of strange reactions,  and pretty scary stuff

If you are driving a minibus, dont cut off the gas truck...

Definitely different.

Thanks for that . It was definitely scary. And gives good cause for defensive driving when we are out and about.
My interperation of that accident was that the truck driver was responsible in that he was speeding when he overtook the camera car and then he ran up the arse of the buss at around the 20 second mark of the video.
I would certainly stay clear of any incident like that.

The bus was actually in the lane to the left of the truck moments before, then reapeared over the truck as it got hit. Must have cut accross the trucks line.

The guy in the little grey (white?) Corolla (?) on the left will wish he'd backed away once the cylinders started flying.  There was one person ran from the left of the crash, but I suspect the driver might not have made it out of the truck.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
