We all know it well and we have all been there – having a close encounter with irresponsible drivers on public roads, highways and mostly on the city streets, guys who can cause horrible accidents because of their lack of concentration, bad driving skills, or simply because they do not care about other participants in the traffic. One has to be completely sober and very much focused when he enters his vehicle, and this goes triple for the truck drivers, especially for the big Semis.

As you have probably heard it multiple times, many folks thing that being a truck driver is an easy job and profession, especially with the new trucks that are practically driving by themselves. But this claim does not really apply in the reality, because when you drive a big Semi-truck, your responsibility grows with the size of the truck, because even one single moment of carelessness or becoming defocused from the road and your machine, can lead to catastrophic consequences.

The video that we have prepared for you in this article is a perfect example on everything above said. Thanks to the focus on the driver and his skilful reaction, the worst was avoided. As he was driving on a highway exit, another 18-wheeler comes from his right side, and without paying much attention he tries to cross his way. If there was another vehicle coming from the opposite direction, there is nothing much that could have been done.

Let us hope that we won’t see many other videos like this in the future, because who knows what could be the outcome? Check it out and take a good lesson out of it. You can also go to this link to learn which cars have the best crash avoiding rating.
