They also could have picked something that could actually happen!
The truck that they used, is made for long hauls with 30+ tons of weight inside of it. There is no way that the truck could even keep up with any vehicle evading someone after them. A normal Hybrid car would run circles around a truck like that- empty or not.
The truck still being able to stay upright, unless you turn the wheel against the skid to keep it on the road? Sorry. Ain't happening. If that trucks wheels leave the ground, it's going over!
For entertainment, it's a good film/scene, but my only critique of the movie was that one scene.
