Australia - Having good judgment and quick-thinking is crucial when driving a car and a lapse in concentration can lead to fatal consequences.

A driver captured dashcam footage of what could have been an horrendous crash, as a truck ignores the rules of the road and nearly causes a huge accident.

The driver of the vehicle is seen attempting to cross an intersection which shows a green light for him, along with a green arrow to turn right. However, the driver notices an oncoming speeding truck, applies the brakes in the nick of time to avoid what could've been a deadly crash.

The near collision shows the importance of being vigilant on the roads, even if you have right of way.
