Sort of like Steve's story, but with a different ending.
My son was driving himself to work. At this spot the road widens to two lanes. This widening doesn't go very far so a truck even thinking about changing lanes is extremely unlikely. He went to pass a semi on the left. The driver was not signaling a turn, so given all the conditions that seems quite reasonable.
The truck then tried to turn left into some shops, running him off the road, with the car demolishing a phone box and stopping short of a power pole, and with tyre shaped impressions on both driver's side doors.
The boys in blue were called and booked the trucker for being under the influence of illegal stimulants. The car was written off by the trucking company's insurers.
Son now has a license for semis.
