A dopey HGV driver has been banned from the roads after he was caught on his own dashcam reversing along a busy main road.

Dan Bostan (corr) was attempting to exit the road when he made the mad manoeuvre.

The 48-year-old had missed a junction.

But instead of carrying on to the next one, he decided to drive backwards to the junction he had missed.

He was southbound on the A34 at the Botley Interchange in Oxfordshire at the time.

But his cab camera captured it all, as reported by Need To Know.

On Wednesday (9 Apr), at Oxford Magistrates’ Court, Bostan, of no fixed abode, was disqualified from driving for a year.

He was also given a 24-week sentence, suspended for 12 months.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “Dan Bostan, aged 48 of no fixed abode, decided to reverse his HGV down the A34 when he missed his junction.

“Don’t be like Dan.

“He has been disqualified from driving for 12 months and been given a 24-week sentence, suspended for 12 months.”

One lorry driver, Daniel Langford, said: “What an embarrassment to the profession.”
