Ah yes, this is a fine example of what is commonly known in the trade as the ‘classic stool loosener'.

Massive fail Vamps.  Crohn's is a disease and comes under IBD along with ulcerative collitis.  And as for doctors, Pah! They shine my shoes ;D

I like to think if that were me then I would have pulled straight back in behind the truck as soon as I saw the lorry headlights on my side of the road, but there is a fair chance the video makes it look there is enough time to react like that when in fact there isn't.
.. just watched this a couple of times again and I think because the van alongside stopped pdq  :o he couldnt actually pull back in  :o :o .....which is probably why he was able to overtake 'cos the van driver was already getting ready to jump out the passenger door.... ;D

I think you are right, just had another look and the van was clearly breaking, brake lights showing when being overtaken, suggests the driver was not paying full attention which might explain the apparent calmness.... :-\ :-\ :-\
