Reckless speeding ends badly
A safe following distance is always advised, especially in a situation like this.
We see cars on the road every single day, but some drivers are more reckless than others.
Overtaking on a busy or dangerous road is always a bad idea, but this driver thought they would take a chance and it didn’t end well... at all!
A video has surfaced online of a motorist driving what seems to be a Honda Jazz impatiently waiting behind a truck with an abnormal load.

The driver decides to overtake the truck, but the dirt road made it extremely difficult. In the video, the car can be seen swerving towards the truck, back on to the dirt road, before landing in the bush.
THE VIDEO IS CLEARLY WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN FOLLOWING AN ABNORMAL LOAD. INSTEAD ONE SHOULD.
