A motorcycle rider had a lucky escape after dodging an oncoming lorry that wobbled dangerously from side-to-side.<br /><br />The man pulled out from a u-turn point between a dual carriageway and took a shortcut by riding into oncoming traffic to reach the hard shoulder.<br /><br />However, he rode straight into the path of an articulated lorry with two trailers on the back. <br /><br />The quick-thinking driver had to swerve at the last moment to avoid hitting the motorcyclist in Krabi, southern Thailand, on July 1.<br /><br />Dashcam footage shows how perilously close they were to colliding. <br /><br />The lorry's cabin and two containers rocked from side-to-side but the vehicle somehow managed to keep its balance before the driver stopped to take a breather after the near miss.<br /><br />A passing motorist who captured the incident said it was lucky the rider was not hurt. <br /><br />He said: ''They came out of the u-turn channel and were crossing to ride in the motorcycle lane. The reason it was dangerous is because he crossed over and rode the wrong way towards the vehicles. <br /><br />''He was counter-flowing to take a shortcut to reach one of the buildings further down the road. Luckily he wasn't knocked over.''
