I didn't see a pass until that Pug 206 moved out of the middle lane. And the van was weaving a bit in the outside lane.

I don't like accelerating into gaps that are likely to disappear or get narrower.

Agree 100% I'd also add you saw what the prick in the van did when he finally noticed the blue lights, braking and swerving left might not have gone well.

I posted many yonks ago, when it was first reported. He got off bloody lightly IMO!

He needed to hit the wall a little bit further along and then the insurance could have sorted out that appalling brick match.

From the article: "Drink driver drove dangerously in his Jaguar after losing control and crashing into a house"

I'm not entirely convinced that's true.

Perhaps he had a 2nd Jag?

A guy stops in a live Lane 1 of the M1 to let his child out to wee at the edge of the motorway.

Perfectly safe. Nobody uses lane one anyway...

"driver parks on slow lane of busy M1 motorway"

No such thing!!!!

No such thing as a Highways Agency Traffic Officer either if your going to be a pendant.

Bloke at work is a prick and needs a punch in the face.

People who sit in 2 lanes are at the top of the moron tree.
The m6/a74m goes into 2 lanes not far from Glasgow so shall I sit between lane 2 and 3 from Lancaster?

Does this one show anything other than a car parked on zigzags

I guess they're not allowed to show anything timed closer to an actual death, but it would be interesting to know the full picture of the incident.
Like
Were the lights changing? Was there a gap in the oncoming traffic for the lorry to use, (in which case his attention would have been on that).

Not only that but it looks like the lorry is just forward of the lights and waiting for a gap in oncoming traffic.
If anything it demonstrates why not to park on zig zags

Now I've watched it again, I'd agree that the lorry has passed the "stop" line already. This disagrees with the bbc story which says the lights turned red as he approached.
Obviously we can't condone any improper driving in this tragic case, but I'd like to think that if I was that pedestrian then I wouldn't have crossed at that phase. Toddlers are different of course.

I read about this story a few weeks back, if I remember rightly lorry stopped on the crossing waiting for a gap to pass the car parked on the zig zags so couldn’t see the lights as they changed and toddler crossed in front just as the HGV set off. Sure it said the driver of the parked car was done for something not sure if was death by careless driving as well.

Edit: I should read the links first, parked car driver done for careless driving.

The truck driver admitted careless driving - who wouldnt?
Since he was past the lights and unlikely to see them change to red, pedestrians may have moved into the corner blind spot, would the case have been satisfied otherwise?

Reading that certainly made me think about it. Having to swing a lorry around the car, concentrating on that, you can begin to understand how concentration could be taken away from a light which was green as you started the maneuver.

Edit, just read further posts that he was over the line, maybe not able to see the signal change. Still, very selfish parking, adding a hindrance where there should be only one focus.
