Cement trucks are big cumbersome vehicles with pretty poor brakes, so pulling out in front of one that’s travelling at full speed is NEVER a good idea.
This Peugeot driver learned a hard lesson in pulling out into traffic. Mainly, don’t pull out in front of a speeding concrete truck…

So what went wrong? Well, firstly the driver of the white Peugeot gingerly pulls out into the middle of the road without even seeing the massive truck coming towards him, but to make matters worse he then hits the brakes. FAIL.
Had the driver sped up a little bit more he might have given the truck driver enough time to make an evasive manoeuvre, but instead both drivers were left with two mangles vehicles and a lot of explaining to do…
