If aquaplaning gives you the chills, just imagine a large truck losing traction on the wet, folding in two and speedily sliding towards your way from the opposite direction.
A hair-raising scenario that will no doubt make you say “holy…$hit” after watching it happen from the front and rear (!) cameras of this Russian driver.
While the dash-cam motorist did react the very last second, to be honest, it was more about luck than technique in his/her case.
On the other hand, the driver in the VW Touareg who was following on from behind can give himself (or herself) a huge pat on the back for taking note of the situation and reacting with lightning speed a split second before the truck entered the lane.
