Ceratinly one of the greatest hits of all time. Imagine if that was a car/motorcylist instead of a lorry.

Seen something similar in my home town at a double (min) roundabout, where a car took the left hand turn too fast and swung out wide, side-swiping the car coming in the opposite direction up to the roundabout.
Actually I see that sort of thing a lot at mini roundabouts, but luckily for those involved, there isn't a vehicle in the wrong place on the other side of the road they are turning into when they cross the centre divide.
In this case, the junction is quite wide, so the MGF driver has to been reckless, not just a bit careless. They probably (erroneously) thought that it was a quiet country lane and no-one would be coming and 'went for it'.
Terrible driving. Hopefully the lorry driver passed the footage onto Plod and the driver of the MGF's insurer and they got the proverbial book thrown at them.
As a cyclist, I sadly often see fellow cyclists and bikers do the same in order to keep that 'all important speed up' or through sheer ignorance of the road.
