PLEASE PLEASE tweet this to the police and make it viral. This prick of a driver shouldn't get away with that.

Although this is obviously not the camera cars fault, I think there is an important lesson here for us all. The camera car is clearly not leaving a 2 second gap with the van in front, the van is filling his field of vision and the driver has no way of seeing the oncoming car. Had he left a 2 second gap, not only may he have see the car much earlier, he would have had more time to respond and he would not be next to the lorry but behind it with a good chance of pulling in un scathed. Thankfully nobody was hurt in this incident, but it could have been so much worse and despite the terrible driving of the oncoming vehicle it could have been totally avoided.

Thanks 'onlyme'
I've Had the chance to take a closer look.
The camera car forward vision is blocked by the van so they have no warning of what is coming
The oncoming car was clearly overtaking a vehicle against oncoming traffic. Totally unjustified and dangerous. They could clearly see what was coming. Totally crazy overtake.
As stated the markings indicate only overtake if SAFE to do so
Very lucky it was not a multi vehicle pile up.

I agree with everything said but at the same time i look at the video and cant understand why he cant focus on the road markings which clearly would tell me that potentially someone might want to overtake from the oncoming side... thats what happens when you're too busy talking to each other and not paying attention on the road and instead paying attention to the funny number plates etc... this could have EASILY been avoided by doing the 2 second gap etc

Totally agree. Lack of braking distance, causing loss of forward vision.
The first clue at 041 is a "throwback" arrow indicating oncoming traffic to pull back to their near side. At this point the camera car is effectively on the wrong side of the road but the driver fails to see this and carries on.
I always try to overtake any large vehicle as quickly as possible, especially articulated vehicles, if you are alongside and they swerve for any reason you have nowhere to go so it is good practice to minimise the risk.
Looks like a very bad road design though.
Lorry driver not at fault at all, as others have said I doubt if he was aware of a collision with the trailer that far behind the cab.
Very lucky that was not a head on collision

3 cars (including the camera car) all overtaking without making sure the road is clear in front of them.
Thankfully they didn't kill any other innocent motorists.

@ 2016-08-21 03:40:14 "Can we just confirm " etc
You should only overtake (cross the dashed line (onto oncoming traffic) when it is safe to do so.
Yes the road layout is questionable that said it was the dangerous overtake (by the car listed) which caused the accident - had they followed the High Way Code etc then irrespective of the piss poor road markings the accident would never have happened.
Why was the offending vehicle already overtaking when it could clearly see the yellow van was using lane 2.
The driver clearly needs to lose the ability to drive for a year or more and to retake their driving test on completion of the ban but more likely with the lazy ass and/or overstretched police and the pc brigade who take up senior positions in the justice system it's likely either nothing will happen or they'll get a slap on the wrist.

question is...
...did the lorry driver feel it, especially when his focus would have been on the van which had just swerved in front of him.
The actual force on the trailer would have been small, (obviously damage would have been the full length of the car). Would you feel something nearly 60ft behind you that was only connected by the fifth wheel pin?
Also, I fear roads like the A1 are far too common around the country - like bits of the A34 through cornwall

Even to the point of putting arrows on your side.. that's just crack-pot. How on earth did they pass such a design? It suggests it's OK to over-take onto a dual carriage..crazy!

Can we just confirm we're all on the right page, so to speak. My contention with that layout is that it's a dashed line for oncoming traffic and a solid line on your side (two lanes). That to me is basically a recipe for hell. Why not simply have double lines throughout? Be interested to see just how many accidents occur on that stretch - one to avoid, in my opinion, due to the seemingly stupid design..

Who designed that road? Never seen something like that in Britain before. I bet that's an accident black spot.

Don't think the lorry stopped but then it wasn't the lorry drivers fault this collision occurred.
I agree about that road, looks incredibly dangerous. The authorities should do something about that, wherever it is.

Dangerous driver. Caused another driver to swerve into a lorry to avoid a collision and potentially death.
