We were driving along the M5 and were overtaking an Eddie Stobart Truck, from a distance he looked like he was towing something, it was only when we got closer that we spotted it was a motorbike.
Had the trucker had to brake suddenly the biker would have been toast as he wouldn't have seen it coming, not even sure he knew the guy was trailing him so close.
Shot this with a Panasonic TA1 pocket camcorder, sorry about the music, all I could find on iMovie that fit the clip.

  • 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

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