@welshtruckerdan: Highway Code – Slip Road Rules (Joining a Dual Carriageway / Motorway) Rule 259 – Joining the motorway or dual carriageway When you’re entering via a slip road: Use the slip road to match your speed with the traffic already on the main carriageway. Give priority to traffic already on the motorway/dual carriageway. They do not have to move over for you (though many will if safe). Check your mirrors and blind spots and signal in good time. Merge safely — do not force your way in or slow down unnecessarily. If you can’t merge because traffic is heavy, you must stop at the end of the slip road if needed — but avoid stopping unless absolutely necessary. --- 🚙 Other Important Highway Code Rules Rule 260 If you are already on the motorway or dual carriageway: Be aware of traffic joining from slip roads. Move to the next lane if it is safe to help vehicles merge — this is courteous, but NOT COMPULSORY. #closecall #44tonarmy #dashcam #hgv #lorry @Jobber @Davetheangrytrucker @Egg Head Chris
He is joining your lane, its up to him to join safely. Hope he stuck it in the ditch the idiot 🤣

People don't seem to understand how slip roads work and just assume you will move for them and not that they have to give way xx

yes you had the right of way but could see he was running out of room, by not easing off you could have ended up with him under you and you on top of a family, just because you are right doesn't mean you did the right thing.

That’s the lorry’s fault he can move over to second land to keep the flow of traffic going on the motorway and to allow people on sliproad to access the motorway safely 👍

Driver should have eased off allowing for the van to merge into the space.

yes the vehicle joining should have speeded up but what stopped you from doing a decent polite thing and move into the next lane it's minimal effort

could have slowed down a bit and signal so he could join in before it hit chaotic. there are unwritten rules in driving as well that's common sense.. in this case when you see a merging road coming you should switch to the middle lane ahead of time. you're not a robot

highway code now states lorries have to give way to everything, we are now classed as the lowest of the low

I've watched this a few times. Yes the van driver was driving badly, but you still could have slowed down a bit more as he was running out of space. Safety should always come first. Even if you are "in the right" safety should always come above your pride

It's crazy how many drivers think they have priority, when joining from a slip road
