Which film opens with a man in a convertible unexpectedly swerves under a truck?

Question

I think it was a 60's movie. Maybe Peter Sellers. He pulls up next to a semi, looks at it as they drive along, and turns the wheel, resulting in a terrible wreck but he survives. I think it's a comedy.

Answer 1

are you thinking of the original michael caine 'Italian Job'? (1969)
