Watch: Truck Driver’s Quick Reaction Prevents Collision With Idiot Motorist

A truck driver’s recent dash cam footage shows a near-miss with a erratic motorist on the highway.

The clip, which was taken earlier this month, shows a black SUV swerving into the right lane and suddenly braking in front of the recording truck. When the truck moves to the left lane to avoid the brake-check, the motorist attempts to move back into the left lane, forcing the trucker onto the highway median.

The motorist then zooms off the scene.

The footage was recorded on February 2nd, 2017 and uploaded by YouTube user Ron Baker.

It’s unclear if it was a case of distracted driving, road rage, or attempted insurance fraud. But what is clear, is that the truck driver did an amazing job at avoiding a potentially serious collision.

Watch the footage below.
