Bet he soiled his pants.... Lucky....

He could of killed someone

Why only 15 months life ban this country is so soft y 6 months 5 years

AndyHinnigan GTRowe31 who let AidOBrien98 drive a lorry?

That is scary. I would sleep better if I knew this person was never allowed to drive an artic again.

😲

Bawbag

We all make mistakes - he should have stopped before that u-turn and called the police. It could have been a whole lot worse.

Professional driver 🙄

Oh my Christ!!

Holy moly 🤔🥱

CathBuchanan80 this is what I was talking about .

Yeah but those bloodycyclists ride on the pavement & jump red lights! Need licences & number plates they do!

Fuckinidiot

hopefully got reg plate and send him back towards Europe never to return

Yet this happens in the same world.

Foreign sub standard driver . Get them out

All they had to do was slow down to let the truck turn, if there was a crash it isn’t the truck driver’s fault

The driver must be a from SriLamka where reckless driving claim 7 lives per day accidents in SriLanka. 😭

Some truck drivers are pretty handy at reversing on roundabouts too

He is brave, very brave but this person should not be behind the wheels of any vehicle not to mention a 40ft, 44ton monster. He gets this wrong, he could litrally take tens of life along and its not a gimme.

Pls tell me the moron was found & prosecutes

Immigrant no doubt!

Seems like an excessive punishment for a mistake that resulted in no injuries.

Why did they have reporting restrictions? Was it cos his name was really long & difficult to pronounce, with lots of consonants & not many vowels!? 🤔

Liked the way that car driver flashed him casually to go so he could take the slip road 😂

Must of been an frenchman, rules of the road are optional in France.

Another reason to come out of EU 😜

Bloody hell! 😲

Permanent ban! Driving is a privilege, not a right.

OMFG!!!

Disqualified from driving for 15 months - madness - he should be disqualified from driving an HGV for life. This news story could easily been a very different one with lives lost and life changing injuries.

Hard to believe someone could be so stupid.

Lol the driver behind him actually flashed 😂

Can’t believe he made it!

How is that even possible?

Old news

Shit i just cringe seeing it. !! 😖😱

The driver who shall apparently remain nameless

Probably that lorry driver seems to be drunk.

That turn was too smooth, he/she has clearly done this before...

So that's where Johnson has been. Learning to drive.

wow

Happened again today

Madness!!

This kind of drive in wrong way is the root cause of major accidents.

I’m presuming he was arrested? Yes?

Only six months ffs

Jail sentence? That's a gutsy move. Kudos, driver.

My mans on suicide mission.

No sé pas què em recorda. Davant de casa, cada dos per tres: camions, cotxes, motos...

OMFGG!

Tbf that u-turn was pretty decent

The cops couldn't catch him . Busy 40 cops stood around a crash waiting for the paramedics and fireman to do their job,whilst thinking about the closest Costa and Gregg's and how long to the end of shift. Millions in CCTV and communications and they didnt catch him?

What the actual fuck!i hope the plate was taken and reported .

OMG PeekaBooKatie this is how NOT to do it x

Euro Truck Simulator 2

I think he managed it pretty well. Nobody got hurt and it all took him/her less than a minute.

Was that Boris driving,he's right good at u-turns

fail...ed transformer...this is how it's done. CCTV footage shows lorry driver joining motorway from wrong direction

ASSHOLE

Polish. Bet you any money.

A perfect turn if you ask me...

This is old

Prison

In all honesty though, after you realise that you're on the wrong side, what should you be doing? Getting out the lorry and just stopping there? Sorry if it's an absolutely moronic question

Wow that is absolutely shocking

Guarantee the drivers Eastern European, half shouldn’t be on our roads the training they receive is sub standard and loads drink on the job

Dude might be absolutely Insane, but he does have some driving skills...LMAo

Surely you go off the motorway, over the usual roundabout and back down on to the motorway?

bloody hell how did he get out of that & putting other lives at risk

Wow 😂. He genuinely thought he was playing GTA

Simply wouldn't have happened with the Rover James....

Er, this is ancient. Nothing else happened in the world since this?

see civilized country
