unlikely to be cctv covering the area its a road onto an industrial estate, given that he was able to pass 99% of my vehicle without a problem there was clearly enough space TO PASS had he slowed down enough to be in full control.
This driver being a soo called "proffesional" has little bearing on his ability! how many times have people complained about a "white van man" delivery drivers are known to be under pressure to meet deadlines/get back to the depot for a coffee break! and drive too fast.
Its simple he was going too fast for the situation had something been blocking the road he would not have been able to stop. His tachograph will show what speed he was doing, its a 30 limit on that road and i would not be surprised if he was going over that! at which point I imagine his insurers will think differently about who is at fault.
