I see all the key points when I was approaching that junction, use it every day so quite aware of all the idiotic movements that happen there, the Clancy van was always top of my list, I thought the van was going to stay in the inside lane that's why I started to accelerate, which was very briefly because I was more aware the driver did not know I was there, I also knew there was no one behind if I needed to brake, which I did as the van veered sharply to get in outside lane.
Just like to point out, its far easier to see all what was going to happen in the video as you all knew what is going to happen because of the header, but at the end of the day she did not do what we were all preached at "Mirror Signal Manoeuvre" but if you have blind spots look over your shoulder, she didn't

If only that was preached instead of speed.Driving standards would improve, and lives could be saved. Sadly it is not preached, it is not encouraged and it is not enforced.
Although I'd change it to.
"Use your fking eyes, mirror, signal, manoeuvre"
drivers these days just drive in a little bubble and aren't aware of what is around them, you see it when people are in the middle and 3rd lane, no idea of the traffic around them, they just see the car in front, and not looking through the car in fronts window to see the rest of the traffic, or use their mirrors to see what is behind. This happened to me on Friday when i was driving people to church,
