Bad advertising?

Erm, working through and discarding all the techie speak, it seems you were cut up on the road from Barnsley. As you seem to have all the relevant details, you could contact the company the other driver represented.

It's your call.

Reading that has tickled me pink!



Very clever!

Remember the system of car control...
Having just studied the location on multimap's bird's eye view, I reckon you have at least 100yards unobstructed view of the junction in question, even taking into account the rising grass verge to the nearside and the gentle incline of Rotherham Road, as it weaves it's way toward Cundy Cross.
The speed limit there is 40mph so judicious use of the accelerator, having spotted the other vehicle early on, would have allowed you to clear the junction, before the van arrived at it. Alternatively, by easing off the gas, again early on, you could have allowed said van to merge seamlessly into traffic, good observation and forward planning being the cornerstones of advanced driving, as you know.
Remember a hazard, is what can be seen, what cannot be seen and what could reasonably be expected to happen.
Start from the assumption that most delivery drivers would be more at home strapped into the cockpit of a Mitsubishi Zero, wrapped in a banzai headband, as they plunge towards the USS Saratoga and you won't go far wrong.

One should of course drive one's own car as defensively as possible, safe and smug in your frequently justified knowledge that every other road user either wants to kill you or couldn't give a babboon's scrotum whether you live, die or spend the rest of your wretched life welded to an iron lung.
Prudent as this may be for law-abiding Joe Motorist however, I humbly submit that it serves justice poorly. Should the feckless and reckless be allowed to get away with hurtling around our green and pleasant land in their lethal metal boxes of inertia, cutting up, diving in and causing arrhythmia in ordinarily healthy Britons? Particularly when traffic officers are so thinly stretched; the queue for the KFC drive-through won't police itself after all.
We need a gallant few to acquire unregistered bangers, beef up the brakes and engines, fit safety cages, weld on some discreet bull-bars, deactive the brake lights, watch Mad Max I and II, then patrol the streets failing to drive defensively. Funding shouldn't be a problem; think of the whiplash claims. I'm not sure what we'd do about the sudden lack of white van drivers though. I'd miss those little cards that tell me one of them called while I was out and I'll have to drive to Scunthorpe to collect the low value item that would have fitted nicely in my greenhouse.
