Sorry to hear about this and glad to know that you & the van driver are OK.
Sadly, IMHO, the standards of most things is falling at a dramatic rate and driving is somewhere near the top.
It's no excuse but I wonder what pressures the driver is under to meet targets/delivery times etc. etc.
A phrase I've heard and used is:
"If you want someone to make mistakes, put them under a tight time deadline"
Alternatively the driver could just be thinking "I'm big and you're little so you WILL give way and if there's a collision I'm high up in something very heavy so I'm unlikely to get badly hurt."
