I reckon he did, but there is simply no time to grab the hand piece and effect the action in the most controlled manner.

Nope. I always liked to think that I could have the reaction time and clarity of thought, but I never did. It all happens so fast.

He will be charged with dangerous driving endangering public safety or something similar I assume, so they will want witnesses for the case.

BTW is that a Defender that comes past the skidding truck with lights on? Seems to have square headlights. I enlarged it on my phone, but I'm not sure.

He'll be done for 'Drive with undue care or attention ' or 'Fail to give way', neither are licence killing offences. If his boss is made aware of the faux par, it could be job killing though.
Either or both of the drivers could be female.

do trucks have abs? i assume not?

Not sure how NSW operates here, but in Vic he'd need what's known as a Driver's Authority ( Used to be a Driver's Certificate ). If a transgression is deemed serious enough then his entitlement to this may be reviewed. Probably wouldn't be though, as there was no actual "accident" ( misnomer: very few collisions are "accidental".).

Public passenger vehicle drivers in NSW do require a Drivers Authority!!

Thought they would. Can't imagine Victoria inventing them alone.
