I don’t know the jurisdiction where this happened, but in my state, the vehicle that’s already on the expressway has the right of way; therefore, the merging vehicle should have yielded.
It is the UK.
@@user-gn6xu4jl1ucant be in the UK. In UK they are driving on the left side of the road.
It’s Denmark, y’all.

It's in Denmark. There is also a white sign with an inverted red Y, which also means that all vehicles from the right at the end of the block markings have priority.
I was too busy looking at what looked like a tornado ahead 😊
Yeah me too 🤣🤣. I actually thought it was until I replayed the video lol
@@100tallpaul thank f#%k for that !!
@@perrylindsay6682 same to you lol. Thought I was seeing things 😂
@@100tallpaul👍🤣🤣
Yep, the tornado did it. I watched one of these where a black blob kept attacking road users :o Others have been injured by some sort of evil electrical beast that makes the camera all blurry :o
There's a piece of dirt on the cammer's windscreen that looked like a tornado, I did a double take! 🤣
Im am super impressed they didn't jack knife the caravan and saved it from another accident
What happens in Denmark stays in Denmark.
Misleading title - the caravan was not overtaking but it was the cammer vehicle that was at fault for not giving way.
This is in Denmark, merging traffic has priority. There's also a white sign with inverted red Y before the on-ramp.. The caravan should've slowed down or moved over.
It would be safer if people treated it that way here.
The cam vehicle was clearly ahead.
And a driver should exercise extra caution when towing a trailer (the bigger the trailer, the more the caution).
@@richardsvr9586 no it doesn't, the sign says "road users must facilitate the merging of traffic under mutual consideration" no one has priority.
@@dannybryant6873 the merging vehicle is travelling at a much slower speed than the car towing the caravan and the law in Denmark states "road users must facilitate the merging of traffic under mutual consideration". there was no 'mutual consideration' give by the merging vehicle.
Did the camera vehicle have mirrors? Best to be safe and avoid these situations when you feel they are developing?
Reading all the comments I have learned something new here!!!
The sign shown at the beginning of the vid is new to me (although I have travelled through Denmark a few times…)
And according to the comments it means that the vehicle forward of the other one has right of way, which in this vid is the cammer!!
This also explains the VERY short lane upto entering the motorway…
Stil the camer had all the opportunity to avoid a collision by crossing the line onto the hard shoulder….
To my mind no judge in the world at large would punnish you for crossing a line in order to avoid an accident….
Please take note of this all of you travelling in Denmark!!!
The sign says "road users must facilitate the merging of traffic under mutual consideration" no one has priority.
@@rdrhouse I learn more and more!!
As an HGV driver I would have given the caravan all the opportunity to pass….
Apart from right of way yes or no; we all know the average caravandriver is not overly skilled…..
In this case, and now knowing more about the meaning of this sign, I think both drivers were not careful enough!!
The truck driver could have avoided this collision by keeping to his right and move on to the hard shoulder.
I can imagine the guy with the caravan was hesitant to move over to the left because several vehicles are overtaking him…
But of course he could have avoided the collision by slowing down in time….
The law apart this case shows what rules always apply:
-Keep distance.
-Anticipate.
-Try to avoid any accident even if you have ‘right of way’
Enjoy the ride,
Drive safe!!!
Its also much more sensible. When driving in the states I matched the front car and merged. Only to discover the douche behind had closed the gap. He literally turned a safe join into a risky omne. What was I meant to do grind to halt and try join a motorway from a standstill. Dumb rule. This Denamark merge in turn sign is a great solution to something that should just happen normally.
He just forgot that he was towing a caravan!
He also forgot his bloody brain.
Is this a joke??? The truck is coming on the highway and took the caravan driver the right of way. The driver of the caravan have no folt what is possible to see on this video.
My good God, the whole world isn't the USA. In Denmark, which is in Europe, vehicles joining have priority especially on short slip roads like this. The caravan involved in the collision knew that and that way least 20-30 seconds to adjust their speed. They made the wrong decision, a decision that will leave them paying a fine and for repairs to the cam vehicle. What happens in the USA or any other country os irrelevant.
So it's different than in Germany... interesting. There you don't have the Right of way when merging and are required to stop...in that scenario the cam would've gotten the full fault
doesn't the inverted red arrow sign mean "road users must facilitate the merging of traffic under mutual consideration". It doesn't give the merging vehicle right of way and there doesn't seem to be a lot "mutual consideration" from the merging vehicle 'considering' the caravan is by the side of the 'merging' vehicle.
In Sweden both driver must consider each other in a situation like this. So NO you are wrong too, besides usa is BIG and laws differs even between states.
In Deutschland und Österreich und in den Niederlanden, wo das Zugfahrzeug wohl herkommt, hat der durchgehende Verkehr auf der Autobahn ebenfalls Vorrang. Leider weiß nicht jeder, dass dies in Dänemark anders ist.
In Italy incoming traffic on an expressway are called acceleration lane and deceleration lane purposely. So if in Italy the incoming truck is at fault. BUT! It really depends on the roadsigns prior to that merge on the expressway.
0:19
The red upside down "Y" is for 2 lanes merging ahead. Meaning the first vehicle has priority, basically zipper merge. Cammer was ahead and caravan speed up thinking they could make it.
Thanks for the addition. Because I don't know this Traffic sign and unfortunately only in Europe are there different regulations for joining the lane on the highway. And where does this Traffic sign apply?
Hmm where it applies? As in where it starts? When the 2 lanes become 1. If one driver is ahead of the other. That driver has priority.
Thanks, but I meant state 😉
Sign shows merge of lanes, both must help each others. It doesnt show priority for anyone. In Norway it works the same, and a give-way/yield-sign is only used if the mergelane is too short.
Let’s not forget commons sense. Being in the right doesn’t mean doing the right thing. Perhaps yielding the right of way or moving to the left if possible was the better move for the van.
"Crash Vehicle Offense -400€"
caravan not worth 400 rupees now
Read the sign at 0:19. It means “Zipper merge”. So it is the caravans fault who is not letting the truck merge. End of discussion 😊
Why are so many referring to US and UK road regulations? The video is from Denmark, and the sign ahead of the merge means that neither driver had "right of way" or "priority". The merge is supposed to be done with "mutual consideration", at which point it seems both drivers failed...
Caravan came over from adjacent lane..
The merging vehicle appears to already have entered the lane before the second caravan comes past though. Could the driver of the caravan, not see? Maybe did forget about the caravan hanging off the back?
He couldn’t have entered the lane since there was a car already there and with a caravan
@@eddu4361 True but it was back further and travelling at a faster speed. This puts the caravan in a better position to see what is about to happen. A little common courtesy, common sense and a sense of self preservation would have prevented this from happening easily
A lot of context is missing, for example was the car towing the caravan, merging into the right hand lane from the left? In which case the truck driver could reasonably have assumed it was in the outer lane as he pulled onto the major road? In this case yes the truck is mainly at fault, however he car should shoulder some of the blame by pulling into an empty lane when the truck is merging
In my opinion the vehicle with the caravan in tow saw the truck and decided to overtake on the left lane, just turned in to early, because traffic came from behind. I am not sure if overtaking is allowed for cars with a tow on this road section. Besides max.speed car with caravan 80 km/h in Danmark.
This is Folketing’s fault. They make laws that are written in Danish and thus can’t be understood by tourists.
We have the red upside down "Y" in Sweden too.
@MattiAntsuK Yes, we do. But it is less common.
funny title... actually the truck driver pushed the caravan away and the truck is 100% to blame and should hand over his drivers licence (and the uploader of the video too)
What the guy towing the caravan couldn’t move to the left lane or slow down.
You didnt see the traffic that was this dude fault driving the truck!!!!!!!!!!!
From the video it didnt look as if the caravanner had any time to safely swap lanes.
It is not up to the traffic already on the motorway to slow down it's up to the joining traffic to adjust their speed or even stop if they can't join safely. Trucks fault entirely.
@@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893 yes caravanner could have chosen to slow down at any time in the previous 30 seconds. Instead he just chose to close his eyes and believe that he had right of way. He did but look where his obstinate attitude got both of them.
@@darrenwilliams118 yes but caravanner could have slowed, he just chose not to. Now look at the problem which they are both in.
Little old lady driving the van probably didn't even know she hit something....lol
The truck driver failed to yield the right of way merging with traffic
Any chance of playing the original audio instead of that hoedown crap?
Here below my first reaction, comparable to many of yours!!!
But read the other reactions and see how most of us, including meself, are wrong because this is in Denmark and there it is different!!!
I am pretty sure the cammer makes a mistake here….
The cammer has to give way when merging into traffic!!
If traffic on the right lane can give you an opportunity to merge than that is very nice…
If not YOU have to find a way around it!!
i think everyones first reaction is the way the rest of the world views these slip road junctions, but in Denmark this type of junction is different. It has an inverted red Y sign and this means "road users must facilitate the merging of traffic under mutual consideration". Two things are said in this meaning, the first is this junction is a merge point and secondly nobody has priority and safe merging is allowed, giving "mutual consideration". Considering the position of the accident, it's pretty clear that the car is very close if not actually by the side of the cammer when this merge takes place. But most of all you must also consider the speed difference. The cammer is travelling at a much slower speed than all the traffic on the road including the car, so i believe that "mutual consideration" was not given by the merging vehicle. This is a moronic idea for a junction as it generates a belief that merging vehicles have a right of way, which they do not have. There is no priority for either vehicle, but seriously why on earth would you pull into a lane with a car towing a caravan by the side of you, it's just plain stupid.
Its the old "im more important than you" fail 😂 both parties 👎
Trucker doesn’t know what yield means.

Well.. I don't plan on driving in other countries besides the United States, because I fully believed the truck was at fault until reading the comments.
This Music, I cant xD
Tornado on the highway!
The vehicle towing a trailer should exercise extra caution. The cam vehicle was clearly ahead and didn't need the person trying to squeeze by (especially when burdened by the trailer)
There is also a white sign with an inverted red Y, which also means that all vehicles from the right at the end of the block markings have priority.
Om folk stressade lite mindre så slutade det lyckligare fler gånger
Whenever I see the word caravan I’m looking for a minivan not a travel trailer. 🤣
That was a smudge on your windshield lol good try
Camera truck is supposed to match the speed of traffic and merge without causing any other vehicle to brake or change course. It's common courtesy as well as traffic law.
The video is from Denmark, and the sign ahead of the merge means that neither driver had "right of way" or "priority". The merge is supposed to be done with "mutual consideration", at which point it seems both drivers failed...
It looks very much like the two caravans may have been travelling together and the second vehicle didn’t want to be separated, so tried to beat the joining cammer without realising he couldn’t get past in time.
Truck driver at fault what a dick thing to do
Love the dance!
Drivning school material 😄 though quite a crash, good thing nobody got hurt. As far as I know the sign means merging lanes and applies to both lanes to adjust speed, not actually indicating right of way? I’d be hard pressed to assume the cammer will be in the clear merging right into a caravan just because it’s meant to accommodate…
Title is not correct. Merging vehicle didn’t give way to caravan.
exactly the truck driver is at fault he didn't merge properly. The only way the caravan driver would be at fault was if he was in the left lane and came into the right lane when the truck was entering the highway, but you can't tell from this video i would assume the caravan driver was simply behind and following his friend ahead of him. Truck driver merge fail.
I agree
Another “professional driver “showing he can’t drive..then actually posting the video showing it.
@@annoyingbstard9407 There is no such thing as "professional" drivers! If the must call themselves "professionals", then they are professional carters.
@@eolsunder This is in Denmark, merging traffic has priority with these markings.
I blame the cam truck!, he had full visability down the slip road of the road he was joinig and should of blended his speed to a gap, easy, save the police report, save the explantion to the boss, save your self the inconvienience, Happy days

This is in Denmark. Having driven in many European countries in both LHD and RHD (U.K. registered 'drive on the left') cars it is my opinion this was almost (but not entirely) the fault of the cammer - in Europe the rules are that joining traffic adjusts its speed to match the speed of the traffic on the motorway.
While the caravaner could probably have done more (e.g. adjusted their speed) to avoid the collision legally the cammer is at fault - the cammer bullied their way onto the motorway, had their vehicle been built such that it disintegrated in a collision this wouldn't have happened.
The cammer bullied their way onto the motorway, Really …. Go back and get your guidebook for merging traffic and tell us all, what the sign at 0:19 means, and what the acceleration zone on a merge lane means, and what makes you think coming to a complete stop on the merge means ?
If a vehicle, doesn’t matter what type, is going to be ahead of you at the merge zone , you must give way, that goes both for the vehicles travelling on the motorway, as well as for those about to merge onto the motorway.
Do You Understand that.
That Means the VEHICLE that hits another VEHICLE on the merge zone , Whoever was in front had Right Of Way .
The Caravan Driver is 100% at fault The Merging Vehicle was on the Motorway when they got hit .
Merging traffic has priority with these markings in Denmark. The caravan should've slowed down or moved over.
While the vehicle entering should do it safely, the vehicle(s) on the main road have enough time to either move lanes or slow down - especially as it was truck, which is a bit obvious...
Caravan driver at fault IMO.
Please familiarize yourself with the Danish traffic law before you make your opinion. See §18 subsection 3 and also familiarize yourself with §3 and §4.
@@br5380 ''imo'' yes in your opinion but that doesn't change the rules.
I'm a class 1 driver, truck was at fault created that situation completely unnecessarily
Actually no, Sweden and Denmark (where this video is from) requires people in the right hand lane to either slow down or speed up or change to left lane.... All other EU countries the merging lane is give way to motorway traffic.
There is also a white sign with an inverted red Y, which also means that all vehicles from the right at the end of the block markings have priority.
@@ullvm1112 No it doesn't as i've explained to you.
@@Nostradamus1981Not true. It is a zipper merge
The truck in my view is at fault
The caravan had no where to go
I maybe if we could have the rear view the caravan could of slowed down and got in behind the truck
If you look at the footage here 0:35 the caravan could have easily moved over into the outside lane. There wasn’t a vehicle in that lane at all. It’s disrespectful by the caravan to not move over when he could to allow the lorry to merge. Caravan is an idiot
Moving over is in many countries in EU not even allowed. There was nothing on the main road that forced the car with caravan to the left. Changing lanes on the main road would then be illegal.
Why would the caravan driver do anything , ????? The onus is on the merging driver to sdjust his speed to merge safely, if it went to court I know who I would put my money on
@@normanedwards7220 Danish rules are different, all merging vehicles have priority past the block markings
@@ullvm1112 thank you for letting me know that , ....if they have priority once they pass the block markings am I right in thinking that they do not have priority untill they pass the block markers , and once they do pass the block markings they are on the main carriage way , if they are on the main carriage way ( the road that they were attempting to join ) why do they have priority over the motorists who were already on that road , ........I am confused,
Am i watching some other video from all these commentors that say the DC vehicle is at fault
Caravans drivers fault plane and simple. 🇬🇧
That's true. There is also a white sign with an inverted red Y, which also means that all vehicles from the right at the end of the block markings have priority.
did he have a caravan or a plane?
@@ullvm1112No, not true. It means it is a zipper merge
@@kujikiri7219 It is true. You don't know the rules in other countries, it's not everywhere the same as the UK (where you are from)
Besides that, this is also not a zipperlane otherwise you would have had the option to merge earlier, this is designed to build up speed and merge in at the end
Looks like merging vehicle didn’t give way to caravan
You are a tool
The YIELD LAW STATES , IF ,A MERGING VEHICLE IS IN FRONT OF YOU ON THE CLOSING LANE YOU MUST YIELD , IF YOU ARE IN FRONT OF THAT VEHICLE THE MERGING VEHICLE YIELDS.
IF YOU INCREASE YOUR SPEED TO INHIBIT MERGING VEHICLE YOU ARE AT FAULT
Really? Looks like person towing doesn't know the highway code and seems to have forgotten they have a caravan behind them 😮
Please post link to said highway code?
Where the dotted line ends, giveway to right. Where the dated lined joins up, giveaway to left
@@derekwatson5429 You also do not know it either, you dont even have a provisional for one roller skate.
And a give way line means !!!!
This is in Denmark, merging traffic has priority. White sign with inverted Y shows it before the on-ramp.

neither has the right of way

Looks like the truck driver forgot the basics of truck driving and merging. Always check your blind spots before committing......
There is also a white sign with an inverted red Y, which also means that all vehicles from the right at the end of the block markings have priority. Caravan driver at fault
It is a sign in the beginning which means it is a zipper merge
It’s not even real 😂😂😂😂
just proving you are a dick!
In the UK the merging vehicle has to merge safely and fit into the traffic already in the lane they are entering, but this is Denmark so whether or not the law is different i'm not sure. The black car towing the caravan has right of way and cannot enter the outside lane due to traffic, i understand the cammer is in a large vehicle, a truck of some sort and these drivers tend to be belligerent on a super human scale, so it's not surprising this happened. Cammers fault in my opinion, but it would be handy if a Danish national were to speak up on the road laws there.
This is a complete lie, "This truck was driving along the highway when a caravan rushed to overtake it, in the same lane."
The truck has the right to merge past the block markings in Denmark
@@ullvm1112 Into the path of an oncoming vehicle?
@@rdrhouse Indeed, that's how these road markings are designed.
The merging vehicle has priority past the block markings, there's a white sign with an inverted red Y on it before every on ramp
@@ullvm1112 so why are the white markings closing into and restricting the merging lane, but not the main lane? That seems completly wrong and not just because every other country is the opposite, the markings give the view that the slip road must give way.
@@rdrhouse Not the whole world is like the UK, I already explained this and you could've done a bit of research yourself by searching ''priority merging Denmark''
But I'll explain it again. The white sign with the inverted red Y shows this. When you pass the third block, the road becomes one and you have the right to merge as traffic from the right.
Bad truck drivers
Bad truck drivers? This is in Denmark all vehicles have priority past the block markings.
It appears to me that the truck failed to yield the right of way and the Caravan driver is a pompous asshole. If you're cruising in the right lane and you see a truck entering the freeway in front of you still getting up to speed, show some courtesy by backing off some to allow the truck to merge.
YEP trucker should have backed off to let the caravan by and the caravan should have moved into the other lane or adjusted speed to let the truck in, i have done
that many times, i want the big rig in front not behind me
Faut vraiment être con pour oublier que l’on tracte une remorque

@@richardsvr9586 okay, not so in australia, you must merge safely and not push you way in to interrupt the flow of traffic, cheers
@@steeldragon5867so in Australia you'd expect the truck to stop on the on-ramp as the caravan driver was staying in the inside lane?
AND then face the need to restart their entry (at a far lower speed).
Not my experience of driving in Aus, although it was a long time ago.
@@br5380 if you can't move over to allow traffic to flow into lane it is up to truck to merge safely rather than slowing traffic on main highway which could cause chaos, cheers
@@steeldragon5867 then it would be even more dangerous as the truck would be starting again from a slower speed - in the rest of the world we move over to let merging traffic on
The truck did not have right to enter the motorway, maybe because of overtaking vehicles the caravan could not move to the outside lane, the caravan is not obliged to slow and let the truck out.
Look at the signs and road markings. The two lanes merge into one. It is Not the right (camera lane) that is mergin into the left.
Many seems to miss this. So, the truck was infront of the caravan. So the caravan should give way.
@@truckdriver1982 and what if he is being overtaken, he just slams on his brakes to let someone pull out on a motorway?, brains of a rocking horse
@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li If he cant change lane then just back of?
I mean...the same problem would hit the truck. Slam on the brake and then trying to find a spot to enter the motorway...from a stand still. Not very smart or safe right?

Follow the video after the two vehicles hit, the following footage shows the left hand lane was empty, so the caravanner could, and should have taken the left lane.
I don't get it.
1. Why did'nt the truck slow down and give caravan right of way. Yes caravan was an idiot but still............
2. Why does the caravan not stop after the impact?
Strange things in this video
The caravanner wasn't an idiot. He or she probably didn't have time to swap lanes safely or brake suddenly risking a jackknife. Atleast thats how it looked.
1. = Have you driven, or ever been a passenger, in a Heavy Vehicle, take it one step further - a Heavy Vehicle with a load onboard. We have to give way to anything that is going to be in front of us, or be in the same space that we will occupy when we merge, that is the Law……Do you understand that.
If I am not moving , at a full stop . It can take a fully laden vehicle " Mile's and Time " to reach and maintain speed.
That is in full control no obstacles.
If I enter a merge I have to time my entrance to, 1) a gap 2) With Inertia & Momentum Under Power , We Do NOT Yield To Vehicles that are going to be " Behind Us " at the Merge Point, BY LAW if you are going to be behind a Heavy Vehicle after it Merges , you are responsible if You Hit That Vehicle . The Merging vehicle has right of way.
2. = The Caravan was at Fault, Probably realised and did a runner.
@@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893 they could've seen the truck entering from probably 1/2 mile back, they'd plenty of time to either move or slow down.
L
imagine seeing a big truck moving into your lane, ahead of you, and driving straight into it. Cam vehicle did nothing wrong. Driver towing the caravan is an idiot.
Sorry: I think the truck should have slowed down since it has to give way when entering the road and it saw that the caravan was coming! And the caravan made a mistake because it also had to slow down or brake to avoid the accident. But even all the cars DO NOT slow down when they enter and in order not to run into them, I always slow down and sometimes honk. Ciao from Italy !
Ooooooooooooo😮😮😮😮😮

What a daft junction, no wonder there's a collision.
This is a right-of-way issue. The merging vehicle (you filming this) failed to yield!
This is in Denmark, the merging vehicle has priority past the block markings. There is also a white sign with a inverted red Y on it which means traffic from right has priority
Wrong
You have got to go back to resit your driving tests.
A Merging Vehicle has the right of way if it is ahead of you on a Merge, It is attempting to get to speed, It is not going to slow down or stop to let you pass.
If you are ahead of the Merging Vehicle, it is to merge behind you,
If you are approaching a merge lane , in a line of traffic .. you are following a vehicle , you are required to allow a gap to develop so as to allow an ahead of you in merge lane to merge safely.
If you speed up to stop the merge you are at fault.
With the aid of this dash cam footage the Caravan is at fault.
in highway code?
Merge like a Zip..
Wrong. If they have to come to a complete stop then that's what they do. There are zero laws that give the right away to those entering a highway.
@@DeathMetalinfedel you are an imbecile, a truck can not come to a complete stop, when they’ve accelerated to join the traffic, What are you a simpleton?

The vehicle entering the main road should match its speed so as to find a gap, not drive into a vehicle already there. What a fool.
they both failed
Camera auto of vrachtauto heeft zeker geen voorrang anders krijg je nog grotere gevaren op de snelweg als auto met caravan moet remmen . Dus auto met caravan heeft voorrang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh ja wel hoor slimmerik, dit is in Denemarken. Al het invoegend verkeer van rechts heeft voorrang, dit wordt ook aangegeven met een bord met een rode omgekeerde Y vlak voor de oprit.
The truck driver was definitely in the wrong. A merging vehicle must give way to all vehicles already on the highway. They are not required to change lanes to let him in.

What, because you’re driving a truck you can ignore the rules of merging?

that's what most truck drivers think, just like hackney carriage taxis.
It’s a zipper merge so it is the caravan who should yield
Caravan? A caravan is a group of vehicles traveling together. The truck was not driving along the highway it was entering the highway, failed to increase speed or merge, and ran into a trailer. Horrible English and lack of knowledge of common driving laws. The vehicle towing the trailer had the right of way.
Several online services translate this kind of trailer to "caravan (Brit)" and "trailer (Amer)". Also in several other languages in Europe "caravan" is a well known name for what we see here, whereas "trailer" is more like a generic term for everything which can be coupled on a car or truck. But yes, "when a caravan rushed to overtake it" is not perfect, as "our European" caravans usually are attached to a car, which makes them a more passive device...
The camper was driving too fast
The DRIVER of the MERGING VEHICLE is AT FAULT & CHALLENGE HIM TO COMMENT ON HIS ACTIONS. BET HE HASNT GOT THE GUTS TO DO SO.
Just terrible judgement by the caravan driver
@@tiredoftheentitled9009no joining traffic has to give way if not safe. Just tried to bully their way in. If I was his boss he would be down the road.
The merging vehicle was ahead of the caravanner and had already merged. If the caravanner flipped it would be HIS fault.
Who cares it’s a CGI generated video. No one got hurt playing this game
100% truck driver's fault. It was his responsibility to join the carriageway safely, and not cause users already on the carriageway to change speed or direction. No matter what the country, vehicle, or situation, the rule still stands. The truck should have seen his entry was blocked and pulled in behind the caravan. I hope they threw the book at him.
This is in Denmark, merging traffic has priority with these markings. The caravan should've slowed down or moved over.
''100% truck driver's fault'' apparently not, think outside and not only of the UK.
"No matter what the country, vehicle, or situation, the rule still stands. " nice try, but obviously traffic codes abroad are different
The truck driver failed. He didn't give way to the caravan.
He don’t have to. It is a zipper merge. It’s the caravan who shall back down
I believe the vehicle merging onto the fwy has no right of way. The vehicle with the trailer has the right of way he is already on the FWY. The vehicle taping the incident has to either stop or move to the shoulder.
The video is from Denmark, and the sign ahead of the merge means that neither driver had "right of way" or "priority". The merge is supposed to be done with "mutual consideration", at which point it seems both drivers failed...
