This footage shows why you should ALWAYS be alert when driving and the potentially devastating consequences of not paying attention behind the wheel. <br /><br />An RAC recovery driver securing a vehicle in an emergency refuge area narrowly avoids being killed by a lorry driver who swerves off the inside lane and across the hard shoulder, ploughing into the worker and breaking his back in two places, before driving off. <br /><br />Released following the conviction of the lorry driver - 69-year-old Terence Poolman - the CCTV from the motorway captures the roadside mechanic’s brush with death on the M6 on 28 April last year.
