That is easy explained
There drove the Road along,sah a Lorry parked but expected them in a Layby. When he was close enough to sah whats the Situation someone was next to him and he couldnt escape to the second Lane.
now,50 mph = 80 km/h = 80000 Meter divided by 3600 Second = 22.2222
No matter how long he needed to check Mirror for moving to second Lane,but from seeing whats on he travelled 22.2222 Meter each Second.
so,sorry. I cant blame Fatigue. If it was it just was,but my experience of Ferries is the Meals,shower and Bed,…So, “NO”
I blame the Lorry who parked on the Road. i would have driven to next Exit or Layby. As excuse for damaging the inflated Tyre were Danger on Dual Carriage Way without Hardshoulder.
That with the HGV’s parking the A12 along on theres small Laybys is clearly the Authorities faul if an Accident hapens. and then,why not building more Parkings as you find it on the Continent? Sure its Drivers fault too

Fatal mistake to assume anything in that situation.More likely to be made by a knackered driver than a fully alert one. 
Having said that yes it’s likely that a vehicle that’s not completely in the lay by could be clipped by a passing vehicle on the basis of the driver not noticing the partial obstruction and therefore having left it too late to move over or stop.The question then still being more a case of why did the passing vehicle run into it than the vehicle being stopped in a live lane for whatever reason.
The report says he was thrown from the vehicle which sounds like no seat belt …
If so I’m sure that didn’t help
the Side of cab got torn off. was a lefthooka i think

Right, so after an exhaustive investigation by Essex Police, and that the other driver wasn’t charged with any offense, you reckon they are wrong 
They state that the Renault pulled into the layby, but was jutting 1m into the N/S carriageway, on that stretch of road, there is a shoulder line, that is about 1m in from the edge of the actual physical end of the paved surface, maybe they were using this as the measuring point as opposed to the shoulder line. Also it was stated that the Renault had been in this position for 18 minutes, even on a Sunday(may 10 last year) a considerable amount of large vehicles would have past that situation, and without incident, and if the parked truck was causing a serious hazard(clumsy use of the word, sorry), you’d spot other vehicles moving to the right or braking heavily ahead of you. Also said, was that there were no vehicles to prevent Mr Mason from entering the O/S lane, it was mentioned that he’d driven left hookers for about 6 years, so he would have been well used to judging righthand lane changes, from the left seat of a truck. If the Renault truck had decided to limp, slowly to the next slip road, he’d have been a considerable hazard whilst doing so, and could of been rear ended in the process anyway. Then you’d have been on his back not parking in the first layby.
It appears that Mr Mason’s family have accepted the findings, we should respect that.
Few amongst can truly sit with a level head and say they have never driven whilst fatigued, the truth is, that the fatigue would cloud your judgement to decide whether you are in a fit state to drive. We all know the presures of the job, and how you can sometimes without realising you’ve done it push or be pushed to far.
As Driver of some considerable years standing, I bow My head to Mr Mason, he paid the price that many of have got away with, and put down to a near miss, next time could be a hit.
RIP Andrew Mason, I think no less of you.
