Kent Couriers Ltd excellent driving DK56GYZ

[GMSamuelRhine]

do you tow trailers with your bent?

[CyclingMikey]

@GMSamuelRhine Sometimes, but not this time. I was on the MTB, because the recumbent doesn't have low enough gearing to make it up that hill towing such a heavy load.

[sw19cam]

Respect!

[saviourag]

All it took him was 30seconds waiting. It's funny how some drivers can't wait that long behind a cyclist but can wait for HOURS in traffic jams.

"....my head was fit to bust with the effort."

Head?.... Head?

You should try pedalling with your legs... I find they're better for the job!! Heh heh!! ;^D

Seriously though.... excellent driving!

I always acknowledge driving like this with a friendly wave of thanks.... it's usually returned pleasing on both sides.

If only all drivers were this nice! :)

[nitramluap]

Excellent driving. I hope you phoned the company to report this driving! :)

[Missha9]

ты чё видео поменял ?

[rosickyize]

nice driving

[veloevol]

Nice work driver. Great he knows you were impressed.

[joevictor53]

Wow! I was expecting the usual from a HGV driver and assumed all of these were sarcastic comments. I was surprised the driver actually was being courteous and waited like you said.

[leapoffaith20]

@joevictor53 Actually I'e never had a problem wit HGV drivers, they're usually really good around bikes. The majority of white van drivers on the other hand can go fuck themselves.

@joevictor53

{grin} You need to get out more, then!

But be wary of skip lorries, local construction contractors, and the light local delivery trucks. Karma has decided a fate for them - reincarnation as a 1970's Skoda convertible.

[Borbuster]

HGV drivers are definitely some of the best on the road. I remember where I used to live there was a really bad road for crossing as a pedestrian, the cars would be nose to tail and it was pretty much just a case of waiting for the first lorry to come along which would always let you cross.

[Cyclingbikingtrucker]

@CyclingMikey Really nice of you to do so, a person's entire job can depend on comments recieved and evidence (vids etc). I like to think my drivers are good guys (and a gal) but then again running plain white trucks with no info has its drawbacks.

[peggy2791]

true pro! give the man a rise

[julietmikealpha]

Spectacular driving! Takes almost no effort to be this courteous. Nice one.

[growingvegetable]

Bloody good driving - just what you'd expect from a highly professional driver. Good on him and his company.

Aye, and it's nice to see the drivers following him (in the last few seconds) - he sets an example, and they follow. :D

[lizardizzle]

Spectacular. You should contact the company and give the licence plate of the truck and the time this was. Perhaps you'll get the driver a nice reward. :]

[CyclingMikey]

@lizardizzle I did phone them, the chap was as chuffed as punch to hear a compliment about the driver.

[lizardizzle]

@CyclingMikey Uhhh... I'm going to guess that means "happy" :]

[CyclingMikey]

@lizardizzle Yes, urbandictionary has it right.

[charlie2268]

50kg! What were you buying?!

[CyclingMikey]

@charlie2268 A weekly shop, most of the weight was drinks.

[bigbillbob88]

@CyclingMikey PARTYYING ARE WE!!!!!!!!!!! jk

[busog97641]

@CyclingMikey Lager?

[CyclingMikey]

@busog97641 LOL! Nah, just soft drinks. I don't drink very much alcohol at all, but I am a bit of a caffeine addict.

[dodgerider26]

@CyclingMikey You should drink more beer, it's far healthier than soda. (Google it... homebrewed beer, and non-pasteurized beer, is very healthy compared to pretty much everything else you could imbibe)

[CyclingMikey]

@dodgerider26 :D I'm sure you're right.

[strippzy]

and it clearly shows that had he passed earlier on he wouldn't have saved much time. Well done to Kent Couriers.

[ribblestealth]

If only they were all like that :D Lovely driving though, lets see more of it!

[kimpado27]

thats a good one.. probably the guy knows the road very well on that area..

[u4987]

First class. That driver deserves a Yorkie for that driving.

[CyclingMikey]

@u4987 I could do with a Yorkie myself after climbing that hill with 50kg of shopping in the trailer. :)

[adrenalinjunky31]

A very good driver. Perhaps an email to the company saying as much?

[CyclingMikey]

@adrenalinjunky31 Absolutely - I'm gonna call them shortly, I'm just waiting for the keywords to be added to the search index so they can find it easily.

[dronespace]

@CyclingMikey

Good to hear that Mikey

Excellent driving there, far better than the other company (in the previous video)

[SkrzypczykBass]

:-D Excellent driver! I may forward this on to PJ Brown.....
