The lorry drive was right to go as there was no yellow box already said by mrgirder as he would have blocked the crossing

[mycycleclips]

i know its tuff in london, maybe if drivers read the road ahead, it would make driving/cycling easier and quicker for everyone

[mrgirder]

There's no yellow box, he's already crossed the line. It would be different if there was a box.

[mycycleclips]

i believe he should have waited where he was, if he was stuck out in the middle of the road causing an obstruction, then thats different.

[mrgirder]

I think if I was in that position, I wouldn't have pulled out in to the junction unless it looked likely that I could get out.

[mycycleclips]

yes. thing is in london is that traffic would prb never move then. its a hard battle, if only everyone kept to the highway code.

Stop hating on drivers who are not doing anything wrong and walk or use cycle paths instead

[AndyrooRobbins]

Mehh.. if it was my driving test, I'd have waited. But normally, I think the guy made the best of a quick opportunity - and with London traffic, that's often a good idea!

truck was turning right, poster turning left so had right of way.

If there was a yellow box it would make no difference as you can still stop in them as long as your exit is clear-Highway Code. His main fault was he was too timid driving forward with the 2 vans there. HGV drivers should dominate the road in this situation. He probably only has a car licence though as its only a 7.5. tonner.
