Do you think this was luck, or was it only saved by keeping a reasonable speed?

I remember what my father taught me when I learned to drive: it’s not so much what you might do wrong, but what others might do wrong. An accident can happen to anyone, even without being at fault, as nearly happened to this Russian driver who providentially avoided being crushed by a truck.

Drive according to the road conditions. Not everything in life is about driving at 140 or 150 km/h, faster than anyone else and glancing sideways at those we overtake; because if this guy had gone just a bit faster, he wouldn’t be around to tell the tale. Keep reading after the jump and then tell me whether he was definitely lucky (well, he had some luck, that no other vehicle appeared head-on, for example) or whether he was saved by driving at a moderate speed.
