Helpful lorry driver accelerating steadily, and braking gently in plenty of time!

[peel1e]

This cyclist must be some sore of moron!

[stevegerrard0]

Idiots like you deserve to be hurt, but then you would probably blame the lgv driver who has enough to cope with avoiding idiot cyclists and cars. Get a life - don't mess with every one else's.

[altern8ive]

no wonder we're hated by car drivers with careless idiots like you demonstrating irresponsible riding. yeah, i occasionally blag a bit of a tow, a free ride for a few metres now and then but this is stupid. you can't even see any obstructions or hazards in the road for starters. this is just inexcusable.

[AIRPILOTPA28]

What a fucking wanker you are I am a coach driver and I hope you are never that close behind me becoz I would slam the brakes on

[Themincraftguy]

i hope he slams on.

[landescape]

you want to die idiot?

[CarpMagic95]

lorry driver sees you there and has to take his eyes off the road just to check he hasnt killed you and end ups killing someone else cos ur a cunt. Nice, Prat

[MrToothlessDinosaur]

Would'nt it be funny if the trailers brakes jammed!!! :)

[tank2521]

he's not being helpful to you accelerating and braking steadily thats professional driving, and i know for a fact he wouldnt have even known you were there!

i freaking hate cyclists! go pay some road tax or stay out the way

[altern8ive]

@tank2521 i used to work for a haulier, and yes i agree totally with the first part of your comment, however it infuriates me every time i see someone raising up the same old tired road tax comment. not all cyclists are solely bike users. i pay my fair share of road tax for my car and have public liability insurance for when i use my bike. please don't stereotype all bike users just because of a minority of idiots like this.

[daisukaAurora]

You sir are one stupid fucking arrogant cunt, are your actually dumb enough to think he can see you? Ps you roadies look like such sad pricks in your lycra lol.

[marketjoe]

I'm confused? Are you saying the truck driver is in the wrong?? because if you are, as a fellow cyclist, you don't deserve to be on the road and whats worse if you do have an accident, I'm sure you will blame an innocent motorist for your complete disregard for other road users. YOU ARE A TWAT OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!

[CoolzeroJ]

The guy on the bike is a Kn*b.

[mattwho1980]

i drive class 1 and i know for a fact he would have not even known you where behind him as you are to close you fuck tard

[ClTIZEN]

I cycle to and from work every day. You're in the wrong here, you are a stain on the reputation of cyclists.

[Missha9]

you bycycle ?

[rchrdbgi8]

I'm a cyclist myself.I'v got one of those electric bikes and i use it to get to work and back.And i would never NEVER fuck around with an articulated lorry like this.What a fucking retard.That lorry driver would have been looking in his mirrors wondering what this fucking twat is upto.It could'v caused an accident.What a fool.Dislike button is about to be pressed yet again.

[ThePeGgY97]

m8 you are a prick end of he was braking and pullin off slowly BECAUSE HE IS LOADED i would like to see u poilt one of these

[mickflyuk]

The word I'm looking for is .... wanker!

[ybot1983]

Its almost as if some cyclist arent happy untill theyve been crushed to death just to make a point, the laughable thing is theyll always come of worse, they seem to develop acute PMT once they get theyre lycras on

[daniisimmoTW]

Stop tarin all cyclists with the same brush we aint all like this

[myvideos123456123456]

hope that lorry slams on the brakes your a tosser for being so close

[CaptainKidd2006]

one of the worst cycle videos i have seen in a long time, firstly some stupid cycling and the swearing at a car driver because you dont like his road position, iam even wondering if your still alive to read this message with cycling like that.

[baileys60]

i bet if you crashed into the back of the truck the drive would have claimed whiplash...

[SuperDougiedoo]

As most people have said, you're bloody lucky nobody cut that rig up because it's that trucker that has to live with it if anything disastrous happens.

[AbzWayne]

If only that lorry had braked hard, then the world would have been all the better for yet another Darwinian law. One less asswipe of a cyclist in the world!!!

[Potterbelly]

wish the trucker had braked hard

[jamie211983]

@Potterbelly i love pulling up to the kurb at a set of lights when i see these cunts in my nearside mirror.

[squirt244]

To be fair, he's probably braking and accelerating slowly because hes thinking where the fuck did that cyclist go!

[DepakoteMeister]

Not read the Highway Code then in relation to the 2 second gap?

[MrSimco84]

*the

[MrSimco84]

I'm a cyclist myself but would never travel so close to the back of anything like that. I would love te end of this video to be the lorry slamming on its brakes and you going right up the arse of it you big knob. you are the one that gives cyclists a bad name. get a life dickhead

[TheMovieFails]

only in 2 parts of that video can the cab of the truck be seen. If you can't see the driver, he can't see you. Do you know what a fucking kerb is? use it.

[bidefordrfc]

You are by far the biggest tool of a cyclist! "Pull the f**k over" ?!?!

Firstly you sound like a peasant, secondly he is IN HIS LANE therefore has NO OBLIGATION to get out of your little push bikes way, in fact what, you want him to block traffic in the other lane? Generally motorcyclists WAIT in a roundabout queue like that, perhaps you should take a leaf out of their book!

[Blueman2805]

What an absolutely appalling road user you are. If there had been police following you, you would have been ticketed for careless cycling. You're far, FAR too close to that lorry for your own safety - the driver cannot see you if you're inside the enormous blind spot immediately behind his vehicle and if he slams on the brakes at that speed, you will die.

[decksey23386]

What can I say that you all haven't. As a truck driver/fitter you are a complete prat, probably caused a load of accidents and not even known. Don't think that applies to him "deejayy2k"

[EK4CrazyVTEC]

if i seen that i would slap my brakes on just to shit him up.

a complete dick head this bloke is should get hit

[barnydog1]

being a truckdriver myself this video just proves what egotistical a+++holes cyclists are!!!!!

[rjbetty84]

@barnydog1 Hey sir, being a keen cyclis myself, I just wanna apologise for this guy here. I'm not being holier than thou but I always try to help out lorry drivers in particular by pulling onto the pavement when I can, or a layby or anything when they're trapped behind me on narrow roads. And always indicating when I safely can. :) I feel like truckies are kinda like comrades cos I'm gonna be one myself. Got my module CPC tomorrow morning.

[rjbetty84]

@rjbetty84 cyclist*

module 4 CPC*

(tricky Acer keyboard missing out letters...)

[Piercedmemba]

Get the Fupp over.... er 'ello.....what did you want the driver to do exactly... mount the kerb & yeah how the hell would he driver see you if you followed behind in the blind area,,,

COCK!

[MrTubbymarshall]

i bet that was lovely, gettin a big tow of that truck. glad no-one was hurt, happy days.

[rockplannet1]

And it would have been a different story had he suddenly found red lights. Why? Because cyclists are fools.

[deejayy2k]

little tip, if you cant see his wing mirrors he cant see you

[keithwill1973]

How would you expect the truck driver to see you? ffs i know who the idiot is here

[koko56]

@TesterAnimal1 - why the comment at the end?

[MadMupp]

But if you would have hit the back of the lorry and been killed you would have been just another innocent cyclist being killed by dangerous car and lorry drivers... Thats some dangerous riding there dude!

[gimley1205]

what an arrogant jumped up twat .

[IanDigs]

Why on earth would you post this on Youtube? This is one of the worst examples of driving/riding I have EVER seen. That guy at the end (in the Volvo) was perfectly placed in his lane but your verbals show exactly what kind of person you are!

Ridiculous!

[SuperInternationalma]

PRICK



[32ewing]

im an ex biker id never drive that close to a huge block of steel

[MD6384]

This cyclist is nothing but a cunt,,,,

[finx2much]

He's that close behind, so the lorry can punch a hole in the wind for him.. It's called drafting and is why when he finally turns right to go around the lorry you can suddenly hear the wind..

And yeah it's hugely dangerous .. especially as you can't see the road and don't have time to react to pot holes

[711leon]

@finx2much if the cyclist cant see the lorry mirrors than the lorry can't see him. he is too close and is an arrogant arse who them shouts at a driver for moving over for other road users. the cyclists unless turning right should stick to the left and stop being so militant and confrontational to drivers. its everyones road space and cyclist don't seem to understand that they will get hit because they ride too close when there is no need, take your time arrive relaxed, happy and alive.

[Ginkster]

The guy in this video is a cunt.

[TheLordLaing]

Did i just hear a "Pull the fuck over"? Why? do you own that stretch of road or something, the vehicles were waiting in their lanes!

And why so close? I was waiting for the bit where the lorry brakes hard and your head punches a hole in the back door... Disappointing.

[TimAber57]

I am a cyclist and am ashamed to see someone behave as stupidly as this, It is the kind of arrogant, mindless and dangerous behaviour that gets us a bad name and endangers the rest of us. I drive too, and sometimes tow a trailer. All road users need to understand the way other vehicles behave, the problems other road users, and pedestrians, have. This does nothing to foster understanding at all.

[20unseen]

Yet another example of an idiot cyclist. That HGV driver would not have known you were there as you are in a massive blind spot. It is stupid and a terrible example to set. Also swearing at the car at the end, look at the footage he was within his lane. Us drivers get told that we should be aware of cyclist, this video proves its the other way around cyclists should be more aware of what other road users have to put up with.

[amlbassjack]

"Pull the fuck over"? Remind me... Who pays the road tax so you have nice smooth tarmac to ride your silly road bike on? And you call yourself a cyclist? Learn to ride then!

[Freekick141]

I'm a cyclist and driver and I agree being to close is not sensible but equally not once did the HGV indicate but this cyclist swearing at the stationary car as he couldn't squeeze through was extremley stupid and dangerous. You sir are fool and I hope you don't learn the hard way but what is worse is your are the type of cyclist that gives weight to the claim by some vehicle drivers that we are all irresponsible suicidal idiots. Learn some sense and respect for the rules of the road.

[20william11]

if a car is stationary and a bike hits the wing mirror, who is at fault? (i do know the answer), but now if you pull away and the bike hits the wing mirror, guess who gets the blame then :( but i still won :P

[no1don]

What a bell end! 

[chrislikesbikes1]

@italianjob1100 The vehicle excise duty you pay on your car doesn't get spent on roads, it goes straight into the general tax pot and it has been this way for decades. The money to pay for roads all comes from your coucil tax, so even people who have never driven a car in their lives pay for the road network.

[MegaChocko]

what an arsehole!

[ilovetails123]

cycling at its best...BEHIND A TRUCK beautiful ¬_¬

[Streakyboneheed]

not sure if there is any point in making a comment to this, you will not be reading it, because if you ride a bike like that every day, then you are more then likley dead by now....

pillock!!!

[0bsessivecompulsive]

Your a fucking idiot! If that was my truck I'd have been on your case for being so close, you may have well just hung on for the ride. I only say this because if you can afford a helmet camera and computer to edit then this isn't the video of a humble mans daily commute.

[darrenmparr]

What is the point in me, a cyclist, trying to advocate to motorised vehicle users that cyclists are safe, competent and road users, when some fucktard like you goes and posts a video like this. Jeeze you retard, get off the road and don't use your bike again until you have bought yourself a set of stabilisers for it. As for instructing a vehicle user to "move the fuck over", at you I advise, get the fuck over yourself.

[noelmurf08]

why are you drivin so close to his back doors ? do you not realise he cant see you when your in that position ??

[cgd27]

i was going to give you an almighty bollocking for being so close as a car driver till you looked down then it was a bike - still its a bit silly travelling so close isnt it

[Confrontationify]

ever heard of stopping distance?

[MrGPSJimmy]

If he had to stop quickly you'd have been filming from under the back axle!

[SussexBasher]

You do realise you daft cyclist, if you cant see the lorrys mirrors he cant see you, may be sit in his left mirror & he may let you passs

[Dendiol]

You're a complete and utter idiot if this is the distance you keep to vehicles in front. Tailgaters are even worse than speeders.

[trcp565fwrd]

I cant hit dislike often enough! Why ride that close, where you have zero chance of being seen? It's a shame the truck driver didn't have to reverse. This sort of thing is why all normal people on the road HATE cyclists, you complete moron.

[DankStanks]

tailgating is illegal, another silly cyclist that thinks he knows absolutely every law on the road. and also that car at the end done nothing wrong at all, he was simply pulling close to the lorry to allow traffic to filter through his right hand side. Just listen to the drivers mate, you only use SOME of the road, generally drivers know more about the laws of the road than cyclists

[arushandapushand]

@DankStanks

no they don't

[snomimons]

Looks a bit close. Rather you than me, eh?

[Longman591978]

1st prize to the prick on the bike, 'move the fuck over???' get off the fuckin road and go and grow a brain, nothing but perfect driving from cars and lorry and how fast do you want him to go as he could weigh upto a total of 44ton!! I would have slammed on the brakes and let u squash your self into the back of my truck. Twat!

[mrsausauge]

Cyclists generally bleat on about how there the victims and how nobody on the road gives them space orcuts them up. In this case you are giving no respect to someone who is driving a 30T truck, if that truck killed or hit you then who do you think woul get the blame? also whilst he is having to constantly look in his mirrors to find out where you are and what you are up to then he cant be looking at whats infront of him putting other drivers and pedestrians at risk too.

You are a smartass idiot

[k40hgv]

and if the driver was to emergancy stop you would be in the hospital....he wouldnt even know you were there

[BikerBonno]

Pull the fuck over? How about get the fuck away from tailgating the lorry? You are invisible to him that close.

[stu130576]

glad every one here sees sence and agrees that there is only one cock in this video..

[chawarren]

wot a dick you are sir

[ROYALstraightFLUSH22]

what a wast of time.

[488scooby]

you think you own the road pal,

[THEIRONMAN9]

a truck driver can ride a bicycle ! not all cyclists can drive trucks

[whitbyjet65]

Who are you telling to move over at the end? No one was doing anything wrong. The black Astra was placed exactly where he should be and so is the HGV. You're the one in this video who doesn't have a clue.

[whitbyjet65]

Dreadful road craft, sir! Why on earth are you so close to the truck?

[howden123456]

fuckking blameless bastard

[howden123456]

can u get any fuckking closer!!!!!! twat

[Blackops272]

Your driving far too close to that lorry! i wouldnt drive that close in a tank! i hope you get hit by a car

[13joethepro]

is that in swindon? cause of all the roundabouts

[123olszan]

fully agree with saiello2061. that lorry driver have to watch your smelly ass and get additional stress. you lucky I wasnt there I would do sadden stop coz I dont give a fuck

[snsandiego]

Truck drivers don't see what you see stay away from trucks

[DonSimonUK]

You are extremely hypocritical in your videos. You are extremely close to this truck by the looks of it. If he had to slam on his brakes (which he is entitled to do at any point), it would have probably have been his fault if you went flying into the back. Same old, same old.

[blobby273]

one of my biggesst bug bares is shown right here the rider follows so close behind never once making sure the lorry driver knows he's there .for your own safety make sure you can see at least one of the lorry drivers mirrors at all times .I can imagine the drivers words as you aprouched the last junction somthing like "were the f****k did you come from "

[bugman53]

Seriously i don't understand people who ride up so close to a large vehicle as they can't see you! seriously you need to think about you actions

[123456azeem123456]

if u cant see his mirrors den he cant see u.

[fusilier45]

How the fuck was the driver to see you when you were like 3 feet from front wheel to his arse?Anyway its your problem if your tailgating and are too close which is a fucking understatement

[FUCK202]

nice and close are we?

[ChuffChuffWoo]

Like my Prius - but noiser ;-))

[thunderRus]

im in training for my class 2, and i ride a motorcycle.

i cant beleive how close you are...

if the truck had to brake, (and you cant see why) and you end up snagged on the ISO trailer....actually.... damn its not worth thinking about. short answer is, truck driver probably wont notice untill a member of public lets him know, by then... yeah... again.. not worth thinking about.

you dont need a license to ride a bicycle... let them ATLEAST see you.

[MrWithamboi]

oh piss off it ur fault shouldnt be in the road no wonder why so many off u die !

[SteffoBoy87]

Cock sucking arsewipe!

[dickiebi]

your way to close to the truck you would complain if he hit you tosser but hey your a cyclist

[farmerkristian]

Why are you so close to the lorry in front then ?

[WNxRadeon]

next time i hope that the truck has to make an emergency stop so that you will hit it with 40 mph, stupid ass retard

[tashes75]

i wonder what the cyclist would have said if the lorry driver tailgated his ass,like he has just done, i wish you was behind me, dick head !!!!!!

[TheCmmdk]

Now that is what i call tailgating

[bitgood]

I'm a regular cyclist. If he slammed his brakes on for what ever reason (you wouldn't be able to foresee it due to your proximity to his ass) you would most likely be dead.

[tmpttt1]

@bitgood

do you think fully loaded 40ton lorry can stop faster than 100kg cyclist? lol

[stevo7281]

I would really truly read this and have a think about how heavy that waggon is then try to remember the last time you saw road kill! you would look exactly the same! Im not kidding!

[stevo7281]

mate i drive a hgv and can honestly say your asking to be killed! he probably could not see you until the very end when you come up his side. also ever heard of the 2 second rule? also where's your road tax dick head!!

[SMA380]

To be honest I completely agree with the rest of the comments here. What the fuck would you of done if he had to brake hard and you never reacted quick enough? I'm almost 99% sure the lorry driver would be blamed somehow, it's idiots like you who sit right up us lorry drivers arses that cause unnecessary accidents.

[m341ehw]

@SMA380 I don't think the HGV driver would have been blamed, the bike rider provided a video which could be used to prosecuted him/herself. I am telling you this for your own safety tester!

Section 29 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, as amended by the Road Traffic Act 1991, makes it an offence for a person to ride a cycle on a road without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road.

[NGC773]

Why are you so close to him? Back the fuck away and stop complaining

[VolvoFH12580]

Thats one of the polish drivers from our felixstowe depots

[gadgetmind]

A nice bit of drafting! I tend to hang closer to the RH edge (or LH if there is a bike lane) - not so much pull but an escape route if they slam on the anchors.

[TesterAnimal1]

@dean0681 wanky wanky wanky little boy.

[saiello2061]

Me = cyclist, motorcyclist and lorry driver. Yeah, why don't you just drive right up his ass in his blind spot you complete fucking asswipe. It's cunts like you that add to the already stressful job we have.. dick head.

[gadgetmind]

@saiello2061 You seem determined to do all you can to re-enforce the prevalent stereotype that truck drivers are all foul-mouthed idiots. Well done.

[saiello2061]

@gadgetmind Yes, a stereotype engineered by people like you. I'm a Software Engineer by trade, drove a lorry for 1 year as a stop gap, gave it up due to the stress, I now fully appreciate where lorry drivers are coming from. The reactions you get are fully deserved, you need to be told in no uncertain terms. Period. You just carry on my freind and you'll end up having a number in an Excel spreadsheet as your epitaph with only yourself to blame...

[BrundukasLT]

@saiello2061 well said!!!

[lowdailys]

@saiello2061 CORRECT HES IN WRONG YOUR IN BLIND SPOT YOU RETARD SHOULD OF SQUASHED YOU FUCKING JACKASS

[MidnightHauler1]

@saiello2061

Well fucking said !

I am a Blood-Biker, a LGV 1 (Artic) driver, and an Ex-Police Rapid Response Motorcylist...

... If I was in the Truck, and I know you were there... I WOULD have hit the brakes... HARD !

... And if I was on the Cop-Bike... I WOULD have Pulled you... and THEN thrown the fucking book at you...

[MidnightHauler1]

There are times on that vid... where you CANNOT be more than 6 feet from his Rear Rail... That would be Dangerous Driving... (6 points+, possible Jail time) ... Driving without due care and attention... (6 points+, possible Jail time) ... Reckless Endangerment... (INSTANT loss of Licence, and DEFINATE Jail Time)... to name the few that come instantly to mind....

[MidnightHauler1]

Oh dear... It looks like you have lost your Licence ... sir... and under section 9 of the PACE act... I will be seizing your vehicle, and reporting you, for what we have witnessed on Camera today.

I must warn you, that ... you have the right to remain silent... anything you say may and will be taken down, and used against you in a Court of Law. This being said, is there anything you wish to discuss with me about these offences at this time?

[xdr5xdrf]

'move the fuck over' ? who

[TesterAnimal1]

@xdr5xdrf Oh, I see what you are asking. The driver who edges out towards the lorry just at the end.

[mattouli]

@TesterAnimal1

Ah the wonders of adrenaline - i bet sitting relaxed at your PC you swear very little.

Been there meself, got the T-shirt! :)

[BridgeLodger]

@TesterAnimal1 I had two classic lycra pillocks, one overtook the other undertook on a bend at the same time, through a pedestrian crossing. Lucky for them I slowed as they were too close for comfort making manouvering risky (for them). There are a lot of warrior cyclists and as with a lot of the videos on youtube they contribute to provoking a situation!

[arcadeuk]

@TesterAnimal1 Does anyone else see the invisible car that edges out towards the lorry at the end? I don't

[twentyone222]

@TesterAnimal1 Yes, as a car driver I always make sure I "pull the fuck over" so some cunt on a bike can squeeze between me and a forty ton truck. In case you hadn't noticed, the car had already stopped long before the truck got to him, but that's not good enough for a lycra road warrior such as yourself. I sincerely hope you're in a wheelchair now so no one else loses their no claims bonus for running over you.

[drsquirrel0]

You can hear just how effective drafting is when you pull out :p

[TesterAnimal1]

@drsquirrel0 Yes. It's a 40 limit there, and I'm sure he got up to 40. You have to be really careful. I know how long the segments between roundabouts are, so I know when to slow down.

[chris746568462]

@TesterAnimal1 And if something happend and he had to do an emergency stop where would you be? I don't think faceplanting the back of a lorry at 40mph would be a nice thing. You are clearly riding in his blind spot.
