Not trying to excuse the lack of awareness of the Kia driver , however -
No doubt van driver had no idea of the concept that traffic joining a motorway/dual carriageway has to accord priority to traffic already on the carriageway , and that , ultimately , if he cannot join without causing road users on the carriageway to have to alter course or speed then he must give way or even stop .
Perish the thought .
OK let me clarify.
Transit had already fully joined, taking up the space Mondeo Man had freely vacated in lane 1.
No question of a pushing in at speed nor crawling, he was simply joining in an orderly fashion. All well & good.
Self & Mrs S just watched in astonishment as 4 or 5 seconds later Kia just ran it up the rear end as if it was simply not there. No braking, no attempt to move out.
