Trucks dont often see you, anticipate

[YoshiTheShiba]

I'll tell ya bro that truck could not see around his trailer , the mistake riders make is not able to see the driver .

if I can't see a rider in my mirror they better not pretend to be there ! or I'll run em over LOL

[2wheelsteve]

@YoshiTheShiba Yep totally agree you gotta see the driver and even then you cant be sure he's seen you!!! dont play games with trucks :)

[AlexRyteuBart]

I do ride bike and drive lorry and it is nice to see biker like you ;)

[2wheelsteve]

That roundabout has strange markings for the lanes on it. Confusing if you haven't been on it before and it would be easy to go into the wrong lane if you don't know the area. The clever motorist does. as you did, anticipate this and sits back and gives the lorry space. After all, there's no point in causing an accident or a near miss just to prove a point, is there?

[2wheelsteve]

@SpuriousEmission Well yes we all make mistakes and find ourselves in the wrong lane from time to time, a biker if there is traffic around will go round the r/bout again while a truck being boss will just assert itself and make the turn

Nice work mate! get alot of that kinda thing going on here, and i have seen many riders that would go up the inside...Sometimes waiting a few seconds will reveal all.

[2wheelsteve]

@terroristone Yeah its wise to wait :)

[gpzDave]

10/10 there big boy.. as you well know, its not the trucks that dont see you... its the Range Rover driving, pink shirt and slip-on shoe wearing, dinner partying, middle aged dogging sales rep from out of town that will kill you....! Ride safe chum.. Del.

Good job 2wheelsteve. Remember folks, NEVER sit parallel with a vehicle on an RB in case any driver changes lanes or swings around the outside of the RB before your exit cutting you up on the left.

Stay in front or behind but never parallel!

[2wheelsteve]

@learn2rideVIDEOS Thanks, totally agree
