THIS is the moment a white van driver who was "showing off to colleagues" was flipped over by a lorry on a busy roundabout. <\/p>\n

The dash cam footage shows a white van attempting to overtake a lorry on a roundabout before cutting inside to make an exit. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

But the van collided with the lorry and flipped upside down. Footage of the accident was posted on TikTok by Andy O'Gekko. <\/p>\n

One user said: "Showing off to work mates goes wrong." Another said: "Surprised how many people think the lorry driver was in the wrong lane."<\/p>\n

And a man said: "Put his mate travelling behind him in a very awkward spot as a witness."<\/p>\n

The accident is thought to have happened in the Greater London area.<\/p>\n

Roundabouts have become flash points for motorists, and drivers have started using the so called slingshot way of beating queues at roundabouts.<\/p>\n

The slingshot involves using the right-hand lane to enter a roundabout before driving all the way round to exit at what would have been the first exit.<\/p>\n

This saves drivers from having to wait in traffic as queues in the left-hand lane tail back from the junction. Footage of the move is often posted on TikTok.<\/p>\n

TikTok user jobbertok has become known for his slingshot videos, which show drivers beating long queues. <\/p>\n

The TikTok user known as \u2018Pedal Perspective\u2019 posted the short clip to his social media page which has more than 4,000 followers.<\/p>\n

In the footage, the car is seen approaching in the outside lane while Ian says: \u201cA classic roundabout slingshot\u201d.<\/p>\n

He then sarcastically adds: \u201cI never turn down an opportunity to sling one round the roundabout and get to the shop a little bit quicker.\u201d<\/p>\n

The car is then seen going past a double-decker bus and going right round the roundabout before doubling back to rejoin the queue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
