Lamb, who was 17 at the time of the accident, then failed to stop and launches into the air when it collided with the roundabout's cambered edge.

He was banned from driving or acquiring a license for a year, ordered to take an extended retest, pay $359 to the CPS, perform 80 hours of unpaid work, and pay a $98 victim surcharge.

Sentencing him, chairman of the bench Jim Agnew said: "Your driving fell far below the expected standard of competent and careful driving."

Speaking previously, motorcyclist Andy Daynes, 35, who caught the footage on his helmet cam while driving behind the van, said he was "shocked" when he witnessed the crash.

Andy, of Hingham, Norwich, said: "I was actually on my motorbike behind him so I saw it all. I pulled over along with some other drivers to see if he was OK.

"It is quite a bad roundabout, he just didn't see what was coming because he was going so fast.
