Due to the snow today I took my girlfriend home early this morning, on the way back I got stuck behind a wisemen milk lorry, we where travelling at 30mph, safe for the road conditions, pure white covered, but safe. Anyway the road back is twisty. But a certain corner was too much for this lorry clearly. The lorry took the corner at 30, I was at a safe distance as should be and then the lorry started going left and right, after about 6 movements it jack-knifed infront of me, rolled twist and stopped square in the middle of the road on it's side, lucky the driver was ok and I was able to stop before hitting the underside of the lorry. But I tell you, was scary watching yourself getting closer and closer to the lorry as it rolled.

Another point is that the lorry driver was in a good heart as once I helped him out the cabin he offered me free milk as the tank was busted open.

it's really difficult to drive a lorry sometimes in them conditions, my dads always telling me stories when he's driving his lorry :)
