The original submission notes: “I was going round the roundabout, and this flatbed articulated lorry belonging to Apex Plant came to join, only thing is it should have been my right of way but he was going too quick to stop. I had to stop sharply on the roundabout, the navy Vectra behind me was following me too closely to see why I was stopping so swerved around me, only to find this truck nearly wiping the nose of his Vectra. Thank you for NOT waving an arm in apology you idiot – the truck would have had you as a grille ornament if you’d have gone any faster. Poor truck driver was distracted having to negotiate a roundabout while on the phone! To compound this fantastic piece of driving he then followed another articulated truck with several tons of bricks on like a true tailgater for nearly 4 miles! So that s due care and attention, using the mobile while driving a vehicle, and tailgating. You d think when relying on a licence for your livelihood you d be more careful... --- Context --- Type: Roundabout Madness Location: Cambridgeshire Vehicle: Volvo 480 Articulated truck Registration: MG62 PGS Date reported: 2025-06-25 --- Safety takeaway --- Approach roundabouts slower and be prepared for sudden stops or lane drift.” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting.
