Well done for calling a crash a crash and not an accident. This junction is sheer joy to negotiate, the busier the better, but it's not much fun for those who haven’t yet mastered the arts of driving more by mirrors than windscreen. By the way, the trucks have right of way over cars, so watch out next time.

Southampton 999 is confused as to why trucks have right of way. let me explain. they do not have right of way legally, but
they are very big and very heavy and arguing with one is not advisable. They also cannot stop as quick as your car, so make certain you don't cut them up and give them plenty of space to brake if you're in front of them. The safest place is behind one, but not between two

I agree! I work in Eastleigh and commuting to and from work is an absolute nightmare!
