Got to agree, dash cam man could have backed off way before so the guy, regardless of the circumstances of his actions, could of got back in sharpish.
I’d have backed off if I’d been dash cam man, as soon as I saw the roundabout sign.
There was no appalling driving by the other driver, his only mistake was posting it on YouTube where the usual Trucknet brigade berate them and support someone who has no place on our roads.

Still cant see it but thanks. It’s a shame they did not go on to say what action they took, if any!!Why do you want to know what action was taken? Would it impact on you in any way?
Because I am interested to know how a Blue Chip company such as Geo Post Uk would deal with such an incident or whether they would take the stance that, as has been muted on here, that the other artic was to blame for not letting him in. Personally, I see it as the Interlink driver was peed off with getting stuck behind the other artic and carried out that dangerous manoeuvre.
For all you know, I may have a wife or daughter who drives along that stretch of road every night and I am worried that some moron in an artic is going to wipe them out.
The Interwinkler driver did indicate when pulling in rejoin the legal part of the road.Both drivers at fault here.Shame that plod were having a brew in the police station.

Has anybody seen this video before ■■? this driver wants banning not just sacking!youtube.com/watch?v=n0Sit4lg1zw
sorry if it’s been posted before.
Again we see someone posting a video that shows potentially dangerous driving and also highlighting their own appalling driving.
That was terrible and potentially dangerous driving by the Interlink driver but why didn’t the driver with the dash-cam slow down and let him in when he realised that he’d made a mistake.
I’m not sure which driver displayed the worst driving attitude, but if I was an employer I wouldn’t employ either of them.
I suppose now people will say it wasn’t his mistake so why should he slow down
What planet are you on?
The only dangerous driver was the one driving around the roundabout the wrong way.
The Interlink driver was overtaking on a curve, there is no way he could have seen what would have been coming until he was close to the front of the other truck. He might have thought he was on a duel carriageway but that just shows his lack of concentration. He also made no indication that he had made a mistake either by braking earlier or putting a left indicator on which shows he knew what he was doing and was doing it deliberately. The speed he went onto the roundabout shows he was intent on getting ahead of the other truck.

Exceedingly well put.
I am surprised that people on here are even questioning the judgement of the you tube driver. That Interlink Express driver was on a mission…pure and simple.
There’s no doubt at all that the Interlink driver was entirely in the wrong and really should not be driving like that. However, while the dash cam driver wasn’t doing anything wrong, he could have played more of a part in averting any potential incident by slowing and letting Interlink in. That’d have been the mark of a truly good driver.

I am not convinced that Interlink had any intention of trying to get back in. I would suspect that he ‘knew’ the road and chanced it.

By the looks of it, I am not the only one who wants to know what course of action was taken…somebody has posted on you tube asking the same question.

The same should be said of the other driver ?.

Possibly, although neiher you nor I have any way of knowing that. Even if that was true, if dash cam had slowed down it would have given Interlink the option of getting back in. If he didn’t chhose to take it, dash cam would have at least done everything he possibly could to avert a potential incident.

Giving Interlink here the benefit of the doubt for one minute…
Interlink is on a road which he thinks is dual carriageway, he then speeds up to the roundabout and then realises that in fact it is single carriageway, he, up until the point at which he goes into the roundabout has the opportunity to brake heavily and bring himself to a standstill. At the very least he could have come to a stop, allow the other driver to come in and then if necessary backed up a short way enabling him to take the correct route around the roundabout. But he didn’t, he continued to go like a bat out of hell as can be seen by the line which he took on approach to the roundabout.

…he showed a blatant disregard for any one elses life…and in my view should have his own life taken away.
Calm down Judge Judy. 
You’re not seriously suggesting he should be sentenced to death for going the wrong way round a roundabout are you?

The Interlink driver was overtaking on a curve, there is no way he could have seen what would have been coming until he was close to the front of the other truck.
However the truck driver with the dash cam could have engaged his brain, knew what was coming up, backed off and let the Interlink driver in.
The only reason the Interlink Driver ended up going the wrong way around the roundabout after the bad overtake was because the dash cam driver didn’t let him back in. I doubt it was the first time dash cam man had been up that road so would’ve known the roundabout was there.
Both parties are at fault - Interlink man for doing a stupid overtake, dash cam man for not doing anything to prevent a bad situation getting worse.
I take it from you’re comment that you’re one of those who if someone was overtaking you and it was obvious they weren’t going to make it before running into an oncoming car wouldn’t back off and just think it was their own fault.

spin it around, why didn’t the tool just cancel the overtake and get back behind him?
