Reflection of a dangerous truck maneuver in a side mirror on a highway.

An imprudent maneuver by a truck driver on the AP-7 highway, near Banyeres del Penedès, nearly caused a serious accident this Friday.

The driver's action involved a double overtake of trailers, an infraction that forced the other two heavy vehicles to swerve to avoid a collision. Footage shared on social media by the account @circuliperladreta.cat shows the sequence of the dangerous incident.
As seen in the images, the driver initiated the overtake from the left lane, where he was prohibited from driving, and before completing the maneuver, attempted to return to the central lane without ensuring the safety of his action.
Another truck traveling in the central lane was forced to take evasive action to avoid a crash. This reaction caused the vehicle to move abruptly, endangering a third truck in the right lane.
The sequence highlights the significant risk created by the initial driver's double recklessness, which could have led to a very serious accident on the road.
