garcon magnifique Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 They should have another camera showing the car behind what the truck driver can see in his mirrors. Might persuade them to drop back a bit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Loving the train barrier though. That would be good. Would stop the majority of idiots running the barrier. (or trying to run the barrier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 This truck driver must have been looking at a porno mag when he took this corner, cos he sure missed the bike right in front of him. This rider kept a very cool head for such a wild thing to happen to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 That is a sad state of affairs. If the chuffing lorry drivers aren't paying attention, what hope do we have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Indeed, there is a massive European push to completely change the design of many lorries apparently to reduce incidents like this. They had all but agreed it was going to happen but a couple of manufacturers have delayed it for many mostly silly reasons. The driver in the video must have been asleep or watching somewhere else other than where he was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 The biker could also have moved to the other side of the road, but shouldn't have had too. Still 95% lorry drivers fault. Many lorry drivers look before turning and/or wait for any oncoming traffic to either pass or wait to allow them to turn off the main road.

Andy_Bangle Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) A major lack of talent, if I was the driver i'd have kept going too. (video is 7 months old) Edited July 28, 2015 by Andy_Bangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I bet he's the sort of bell end that 'always turns off traction control' too, probably because it's 'too intrusive' and 'spoils the driving experience' or some other such bullsh1t spouted by morons.

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) To be fair, the sign does say exactly what he did! "Thru traffic - merge right" He went thru the central reservation, and merged by turning right. Edited July 28, 2015 by NewNiceMrMe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 That landing was nearly a Dukes of Hazzard stylie type homage! ie wreck the car, but keep going............... What did it slip on?
