Fantastic TNT lorry driver

I'm always a bit wary when a lorry comes up behind me as I've nearly been squashed by them overtaking badly more than once.

I was glad when he didn't try overtaking in some of the small gap (but large enough for most cars/vans), but didn't expect nearly this much room! You can't hear it, but I did mouth 'brilliant' as I was so surprised and gave him a big thumbs up and thank you (before and after).

Hopefully this video will balance things out a bit :)

Interesting... I do NOT see anything wrong with this lorry overtaking a bike... Remember how many times i had to overtake bikes in London, but on the lights they come stright pass everyone else and i had to overtake him again... Six times!!! Where is the sence in that?.. Are they stupid not to understand lorry is a BIT bigger than a bike or a car???...

@Choranas Nothing wrong with this overtake. I uploaded it as it was fantastic.

Your criticism of the cyclists, could well be a criticism of you. THey shouldn't overtake you 6 times, but you can overtake them 6 times? It's the same thing....

@thomase1 yeah im a lorry driver and i just pull over to let cyclist past :)

@rockandroll626 haha, you're too slow? My favourite has to be when lorry drivers (presumably to save fuel) pull away really gradually. Can get in, and stick in the slip stream and not have to put any effort into peddling :D

@thomse1 it's because of me lorry driver I can't see cyclists in my mirror so it's a blind spot

The person on the cycle indicated quite clearly the reason why he posted this video so why the negative comments towards them ?
