[DanielVectra212]

I'd bet it's James May, the truck is going where he wants to go.

i wonder if the motorbike rider realise that the driver cannot see him

[transitcoffin]

the rider of this bike is a true dick head if that trucks brakes the rider is DEAD when air brakes are applied they can stop in a flash if he continues to ride like this behing any HGV he will be paying visit to the undertakers !!!

back off you bloody idiot :(

[omega19s]

thats ECO riding is that! lol

[pleasing9]

Well I'm ashamed to say I have done this. Being a Motorcyclist and an HGV Driver I can understand the logic of the rider. It looks bloody freezing and you'll be surprised how much heat comes from sitting behind the truck like that and not to mention the welcome break from the ice cold wind. Flying birds sometimes do it for the same reason but at least they fly beside the truck. However when the truck drives over debris the rider will have no time to react. It's not bad weather just bad clothing

[treeefrogUK]

Well, it's the safest thing to tailgate as the driver can see further ahead because of his height above the road. I did it once - but at 3 a.m. when the M1 was fairly empty and it was bloody freezing! And to see how much I could back off the throttle while maintaining speed - about 1/4 to 1/3rd is all that's needed when you remove most of the wind resistance. Only once though - too scary and too much concentration needed on his BRAKE lights to make it enjoyable.

Now there's a chap with a long life ahead of him.

the trucker would have no idea he was there, and if he did break and the bike hit him he wouldnt have a clue!
