This is the bone-chilling moment a lorry pulls out from a motorway exit lane in front of speeding traffic on the M25, nearly causing a major accident Thursday afternoon. <br /><br />The close call was caught by lorry driver John Mitchell who was travelling on the ring-road near Hertfordshire in his own heavy goods vehicle at the time.<br /><br />"[The] truck was in the left-hand lane," said Mitchell. "At first I thought he wanted the next lane but he had other ideas." <br /><br />"I left it a bit late to move over as I had to check the lane next to me quickly, then as I swerved my back end felt like it was shifting so as I swerved the other way I felt it more so rather than keep swerving I straightened up and aimed for hard shoulder"<br /><br />He later added that he based his reaction on the course of action that would result in the least possible devastation. "By staying put and at speed I wasn't forcing anyone else to brake and have a possible accident."<br /><br />Viewers of the video have speculated that the lorry in question was left-hand drive, which could explain why they undertook such a manoeuvre without proper caution.
