It is family tradition to drive an SUV. Wouldn't want to break it.

That would do no good for an SUV, which would either be on its side or its roof in this situation.

Yeah uhm, a car like an SUV with a high center of gravity probably would have rolled multiple times...

For the last time, SUVs only have high centres of gravity if there's fat Amerikans in them.

If the driver didn't see a bright blue car with lights on anyway, I don't think he's gonna see a SUV...

He was probably drunk, on the phone, texting, and shaving his pubes.

Maybe people should actually read the driver's manual and be mindful of lorry blind spots.

Since murdering prostitutes generally means that the lorryist has to stop the vehicle (which could mess with their delivery schedules) most companies frown on such behaviour during working hours. This clip is clearly during working hours, so the lorryist has had to resort to the old "attempted car crush" routine. Not as much fun, of course, but it doesn't mess with one's schedules.

I like how the car driver occasionally tries pressing the brakes.

Too bad it wasn't a Prius. It would've accelerated on its own and gotten the driver out of that mess.

I like the advertisement for car sharing to save on CO2 emissions - the video is not the type of sharing I had in mind...

Old ad tag line: "The car in front is a Toyota".

He added that he believed the female driver of the Clio had not been injured in the incident.
I'm not going to say it.
