The jury is still out on whether the protagonist of our latest Russian offbeat video had lady luck on his side or if he’s that good behind the wheel of a truck, but either way, the save was impressive, to say the least.

If you pay attention to the dashboard camera-sourced footage, at about seven seconds into the video, you can see an old (or new, it’s the same thing anyway…) Lada Niva 4×4 legally entering the road from a side street.

The truck driver was probably going faster than he should have, and as a result, kind of entered panic mode and locked the brakes of his lorry, which fortunately, wasn’t loaded.

Watch the clip for yourself right past the break.
