VIDEO: If You're Ever In CHINA, Make Sure To Keep An Eye Out For Stuff Like This

...after all, you don't want to be the fella trapped underneath this massive truck, would you?

Unfortunately for one truck driver in China, trying to beat the light just didn't work out for him. I mean, I'm not a truck driver, but with an entrance speed like that how could you expect to get away with a turn THAT sharp?

**Take a look at the video down below

Vehicle accidents happen on the road everywhere and every day. However, some mishaps could be easily avoided if the person behind the wheel has his or her head screwed on the right way. For example, take a look at this video showing a 14-wheeler truck overturning on a busy road in Wenling City in eastern China's Zhejiang Province; this is not the way you are supposed to turn into a corner with such a heavy and long vehicle...

I have lived and worked in Asia for 9+ years and see this stuff all the time. The corrupted traffic police force gives the transportation industry, increase cost of operations, so those trucking companies take short cuts such as i) hiring young inexperienced drives ii) work the drivers to death with long work hours iii) put pressure on the drivers to shorten their delivery time iv) double and triple up the pay load, etc. Then those same truck companies pay off the same traffic police force to allow them to drive fast and not complying to regulations to make up for the bribes, and in return, give their drivers the green light to drive aggressively. Consequence is this kind of crap.

It helps to actually connect the container to the trailer before using, lol.
