One of the last things you want to deal with on a snow- and ice-ridden highway while driving at speed is a nasty surprise in front of you, like, let’s say for example, a…runaway dumpster-trailer filled to the brim that has just detached from a truck.

The poor Russian (?) driver of the camera-equipped car (a VW Golf GTI Mk5, according to the camera data) was caught completely off-guard, and seeing the video, it’s not at all hard to see why.

Yet after you take notice of how calm he reacted, you can’t but give him a big thumbs up for saving the day and his ride without a single scratch, despite the unfavorable weather and road conditions.

See how he did it in the following video.
