My thoughts...
That car would be breaking up all over the place, starting with the tyres/wheels.
It just seems to be gliding along too smoothly. ::)

I dont see how that can possibly be real. The tyres on the car would disintegrate and there would be black smoke everywhere. The truck driver would definately be aware of the car even if he couldn't see it. Even if the tyres had completely gone there would be sparks and I think the car would flip.

Definately dodgy.
I've been dreading the day i agree with you Steve but you're right. Even on a wet road the car would'nt stay planted. No sign of any damage either...there would've been some.

Not wishing to appear geeky, but the lift axle on the tractor unit is up so he is running empty. The trailer is mostly aluminium body and steel chassis so very light. The massive torque that these trucks produce at low RPM are quite entertaining in the wet. If that car is really under the front of that truck the drive axle would be spinning like mad trying to gain traction and ultimately come to a complete standstill. To do that speed in the wet with a car under the bumper is total tosh. Had us all going though, nice one :y

'Twas on the news tonight .. apparently the police are "re-opening their enquiries" and the haulage company admit to "an incident"  so there is something odd ...  :(

Having watched it a couple of times after the above comments ... I make these observations ..

The clit is not sitting totally "flat" on the truck .. the wheels "on " the truck appear to be off the ground

The nearside wheels are certainly on the ground, and at the very end of the clip sparks can be seen, just, from that region

My initial reaction was "fake" .. but why would someone fake the heads inside the car ??

I just don't know now ...  :(

Yes, I've just watched it again and I must say, despite my earlier misgivings, it COULD be real. :-/ :-/

 Let's suppose for a moment the truck is doing 56mph empty and in the wet, where on earth did he "pick up" the car?Granted the car is facing the right way for an entry slip collision.But the speeds and positions of both vehicles would have to be so precise for the truck not to be affected in some way,either through loss of speed,noise,bouncing around or wheel spin. I have driven the tallest of trucks and I cannot believe the driver didn't know there was a car there. The footage is real enough but deliberate I think :-/

Now that I could agree with ... actual footage of a staged incident ...  ...   a set up ... now .. were the telephone filmers in on the act ??
