Good heavens! Even if he didn't see it, how on earth did the truck driver not notice either the noise, the smell of burning rubber, or the change in handling characteristics and/or acceleration of his vehicle?
For some reason I looked to my left as I overtook the truck & though "That doesn't look right" & booted it.
Truck driver put his brakes on & the car shot across the motorway & hit the central crashbarrier.
Lovely.
No one hurt so far as I know.
Had a similar experience myself on the M42 one night
Over took a truck, looked in my side mirrors and thought "His lights look wierd" as I went a bit further I got a better look in the rearview mirror...
His lights looked weird cause they were shining through a car that was in front of the truck and sideways.
Pulled over and called the police, traffic resumed to normal flow in the 5 minutes whilst I was on the hard shoulder
