Even as is kids, we are all taught to cross the road safely and that’s something that should stay with us forever, right? Well, perhaps that holds true for most people, but some insist on following their own rules and ultimately, pay the price for it…

Like the man in this video who not only forgot about pedestrian crossings–though in all fairness, for all we know, there may not have been one nearby, but while he was walking through the moving cars and trucks he failed to remember one very basic rule: always look towards the direction that the cars are coming from.

In this case, since he was crossing the right lane of the road, he should have looked towards his left side and not the right.

As scary as the accident that followed may look, the man was extremely lucky not to be lodged between the car and the truck, making it out alive and well.
