Why is this dustcart taking so long to stop? It's because the driver has realised that there is a cyclist between his truck and where he wants to park it. He has quite correctly slowed to match the cyclist's pace and has made no attempt to overtake. Well done, this is how it should be. (However, the cyclist could try wearing something a little more visible and getting brighter lights...)
When I complained to Biffa (with video) they took it pretty seriously...apparently they were going to use their footage in their training scheme, though I honestly have no idea if they have.

Hopefully they have then but this video shows a considerate driver. As opposed to the one in 'Stopping Now' or 'Dangerous HGV Pass'. Matthew Kibble has joined YouTube and voiced his opinions on the latter. Worth a read I think...
