The moment the truck hits the Porche 911 causing £1,000s in damages[/caption]

The Porsche 911 driver is hit by a truck that failed to see the sports car when trying to change lanes.

It looks as though the 911 is in the truck’s blind spot as it moves to overtake a car in the slow lane.

After being hit, the Porche driver manages to maintain control and indicates to the left to pull over and sort it out.

The video’s title on Reddit reads: “Porche driver is having a bad day.”

But people commenting under the video on Reddit were divided on who was in the wrong.

One said: “The Porsche owner was really calm in this situation to not only maintain control of their vehicle upon getting accidentally pitted by a truck but to also use their turn signal and calmly get over.”

Another said: “The person driving that Porsche did well. Kept their head.

“So much power in those things he/she could’ve panicked and ended up in a worse situation.”

But, other Reddit users believe that the truck was right.

“Just stay out of their blind spots and don’t stand in between them if there is a traffic jam,” claimed another user.

“When you ride next to the cab of a truck he cannot see you, drop back, or move forward some, so he can see you in the mirror!” another said.

Trucks are known for having large blind spots – particularly directly behind and over on the passenger side.

Judging by the truck’s white rear number plate, it’s likely to be a foreign vehicle with the driver sat on the other side to the Porsche, meaning the 911 was even harder to spot.
