As an experienced driver,why would you speed on till meters away from an obstacle if you are not drunk as it may be a distraction created by highway robbers ? So answer is that "an experienced driver is not reckless". To answer your question directly, no experience can save any driver from this collision. You can only determine side of impact by sudden application of brake to skid by turning left or right. |

Omo...the brakes can't help in this situation. Just brace for impact cuz you must hit that truck. Assuming I saw the path on the back or the front of the truck I will know if I am going to swerve left or right, but that 180 top speed at that close range either way is high way to hell in this situation. I told someone...when you are on top speed above 100, you don't have absolute control of your brakes and steering. |

Why should an experienced driver be on 180kmph when the highway limit is 120kmp. The question should be "how should this wreckless driver choose to die in this situation?" |

4rm ChatGPT in case the careless drivers find themselves in this situation The speedometer shows approximately 180 km/h — and there’s a truck blocking almost the entire road ahead! Here’s what I’d do: 1. Brake firmly and progressively to reduce speed immediately, keeping the car under control. 2. Do not attempt to squeeze past the truck or swerve onto the shoulder at that speed. 3. Look for an escape route while checking mirrors and maintaining control of the steering. 4. Be prepared to stop if there isn’t enough safe space to pass. 5. Once stopped or slowed sufficiently, maintain a safe distance and assess whether the truck is moving or stationary. The key point: Being an experienced driver means recognizing danger early, not relying on skill to escape it at the last second. At 180 km/h, the priority is to reduce speed safely. Abrupt steering or panic braking could make the situation worse. |

Steer left or right to avoid a head on collision and allow for a side or rear collision |

An experienced driver won't get so close before knowing what to do. |

Na to slam on the brakes hard oo.You go hold the steering wheel straight, come brace for impact. At 180 km/h, you are going to hit. Physics doesn't care about your experience. The stopping distance is too long. The impact is coming. Your only hope is to brake hard, reduce speed as much as possible in the fraction of a second you have, and hope the impact doesn't kill you. |

Brake gently, pull up the hand brake and release your hands from the steering. The car swing or automatically make a u-turn. |
