Just a shame it was incorrect).<\/p>\n<p>On another forum, another &#8216;expert&#8217; points out that it is illegal to use your mobile phone\u00a0when you are driving (driving instructors love this one &#8211; whenever footage appears online they always start showing how clever they are by asking how it was filmed). It is clear from the blurred view we have of the driver as the lorry passes\u00a0that the <em>passenger<\/em> is doing the filming.<\/p>\n<p>Only two things are certain: the lorry driver is going rather fast, and he has a car stuck in his front.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDIT 28\/05\/2010:<\/strong> It just goes to show that you can&#8217;t make assumptions about anything.
