"But dont take my word for it lads....Here is a little test for you...next time you see a car with the wing mirror hanging off or a huge dent in the boot or great big scratches down the side...Just have a look at the driver 95% of the time it`ll be a Splitarse at the wheel"

Having checked google maps it appears others are correct the van was in the wrong lane, However its a very confusing looking road layout and mister angry provoked the situation IMHO by racing past the van and cutting him up instead of just slotting in behind him.
Can someone post the google maps so we can all have a look

I wonder how many bad driving habbits mr split arse lorry driver has!!! bet if someone filmed him for a few miles you would find him in the middle lane overtaking painfully slow, speeding in heavy raining conditions or the ol lorry driver favourate,,,, pulling out in front of an overtaking car in the middle lane....

as I said confusing junction.pinchmeimdreamin said:
as I said confusing junction.Two lanes feed into one which feed into the lane mr angry wanted to take.
If you look at the google image and follow the roundabout round you see two clearly defined lanes which then feed into each other.
The only question is priority which i think falls to the cab first then the truck driver although i would use the rule of car in front has priority.
God, it's one of those roundabouts. I hate em.
At every junction the left hand lane turns off and a new lane forms on the right, slowly filtering all drivers off to an exit if they follow a lane.
And what's going on at approx 3pm on the google birds eye view? Looks like the line painters ran out of paint so only painted a couple of white bits!
Having looked at it now, I'd probably make sure I was ahead of everyone else at the red light start and then figure out where the hell I'm trying to go.

A colleague of mine lost his job because of something posted on YouTube. I suspect the company may have a Google alert for every time their name comes up so they can see anything being posted that may damage the brand image. Stobart will most likely come across this sooner rather than later and if they think this is damaging to them, which they will, the guy could be in the dole queue on Monday morning.

Maybe he deliberately misspelt Stobart as Stowbart to avoid this?Chainguy said:
Serious anger issues combined with, buy the looks of his scribblings on the you tube descriptions, a major chip on his shoulder towards anyone and everyone who he deems to have 'done better' than him. Everything he writes is bile filled hatred. He has the language skills of a tourettes suffering teenager, and yet seems to think he is in the right, every time. No doubt about everything in life though, not just driving. I also get very suspicious of anyone over the age of 18 who actually writes 'lol'. Thank God I don't have him for a next door neighbour.
This guy is actively courting confrontation in some of those videos, he's seems to be looking for a reason to get shouty and sweary and throw his yorkie bar out of the pram. Yes there is some poor driving, but he's not lilly white himself and he seems incapable of realising that people make mistakes. Thats life, deal with it. If you can't, get another job where you don't have to interact with fallable human beings.
Interesting to see he works for Stobarts. I guess their driver standards have slipped lately, although as one of their guys nearly broadsided me on the motorway last month when he realised he was in the wrong lane (full on emergency stop) when he swerved in without even a blink of the indicator, I've had that suspicion for a while.
There are some great guys out there driving HGV's, this chap isn't one of them.

It's at 5o'clock and a new lane starts on the left At every junction the left hand lane turns off and a new lane forms on the right, slowly filtering all drivers off to an exit if they follow a lane.
Is this guy spending too much of his time in the cab and needs help?
