A driver with nerves of steel managed to squeeze between two oncoming lorries hogging the full width of the road.
Dashcam footage shows the man passing several trucks as he drove along a narrow stretch of road last Saturday (11 April).
Moments later, two more lorries came into view, but this time they were occupying both sides of the carriageway.

None of the three drivers had time or space to brake.
The footage shows the driver keeping his cool as he veered left to clear the first lorry.
He then sharply steered right into a tiny gap between the two trucks, slaloming through to safety without even flinching.
Immediately after the near-miss, he calmly continued chewing gum and only briefly glanced in the rear-view mirror while carrying on his journey.
The heart-stopping scenes unfolded on a notorious stretch of the Samara–Shymkent highway in Khromtau, Kazakhstan, as reported by Need To Know.
The driver, Kanat Bekzhanov, reportedly had his wife and three young children in the car at the time.
Kanat, a barber from Aktobe, later wrote online that the ordeal felt like stepping “out of the shadow of danger and back into the light”.
He added: “Being safe today isn’t just luck – it’s a sign of great mercy and protection. When life gives you another chance, you learn to value it.”
After the clip went viral, police reportedly identified the truck driver who carried out the risky overtake and said he would be held accountable.
One viewer commented: “You’re a legend. You drive like Jason Statham in ‘The Transporter’.”
Another added: “I swear, my heart almost stopped on this side of the screen.”
