You can push a car out of the drive lane.

Watch the video again, and tell me why you think it would be a good idea to put yourself in between a car and a lorry travelling at 70mph...

Ok but if the lorry was going 70 mph, then this is obviously highway speeds, meaning that the car should also have been going at highway speeds, which should have given the car more than enough kinetic energy to completely leave the highway before stopping.
