Hiya
Looking at this pic it looks like he’s just negotiated a left hander and to go over to the left
seems strange or was it a “blowover” that seems more probable.
thanks harry, long retired.
this happened a while back, loaded top heavy

Still tipped over the wrong side 
daidog:
Only an Owen’s driver could turn over to the left on a left hand bend
It looks to me from the picture that that’s an exit of a roundabout its gone over on, so my best guess would be that it started its roll over actually on the roundabout whilst sweeping right and for whatever reason was unable to plant all wheels back on the ground even though it was then sweeping left.
Of course we can all speculate that the driver was either seriously cooking it through that roundabout or it was one hell of a windy day/night and add to that a possibly poorly loaded Double Decker and physics will do the rest and so on, but I’m pretty confident that being an “Owens driver” wasn’t the only contributing factor Dai
