This biker in the UK was chopping and changing  lanes when he came across two HGV’s and no time to brake. Warning, there’s some salty language.

Lane changing on a bike at high speeds can be dangerous, especially if you start undertaking other motorists. But there’s more to look out for than just idiots who don’t check their mirrors, as this biker recently found out…

The bloke wasn’t watching what was happening ahead and ends up getting sandwiched in between two large HGV’s that were slowing down for a traffic jam.

Thankfully, the bloke wasn’t injured in the incident, but he’ll have a hell of a time trying to explain what happened to his insurance broker (and more importantly, his wife).

Here’s what it says on YouTube: “The dash cam of my friend John’s Motorbike captures a real funny video. He was out on the high way on his Suzuki Bandit and speeding close to 150 km/h and suddenly sees two trucks almost blocking his way.

“You know how difficult it is to stop a bike going at those speeds. You can hear him screaming shit, shit. But to his luck he almost got sandwiched between the the two trucks and narrowly misses getting run over by the truck. All the witnesses were shocked to see him escape with minor injuries.”

His reaction says it all really: “Shit-it…”
