This Truck Driver Unknowingly Takes A Compact Car For A Half Mile Ride

Only after pushing this small car for half a mile at roughly 60 mph, did this truck driver in the U.K. realize what was going on. He then pulled over on the shoulder to stop and the motorist in the car was uninjured.

The incident was investigated and the driver, who has years of experience, was not charged. Police were convinced that he was unaware of the car and was unable to feel it. They also said it was near impossible to hear the driver’s horn honking due to high winds.

Wonder what the drivers told their insurance companies when they asked where the accident took place — the point of impact, or the stop half a mile away?
