I shunted my 1972 Lotus Elite +2S 130 on a German Autobahn when a car following a slow truck on a hill pulled into the left lane right in front of me. I moved to the right lane to avoid the car and braked to avoid the truck, but slick pavement took me into guardrail. I wasn’t going quite as fast as the video, but close. I drove home, but the fibreglass body sustained considerable damage
