Really thought my number was up this morning.
Flying down the bypass (fast downhill dual carriageway), doing 45ish when a bloody artic overtakes me. The pass was fairly close to start with (I could have touched the side easily), but as soon as I was level with the end of the tractor unit he started to pull into my lane, I honestly thought I was going to end up under the trailer wheels.
I had absolutley nowhere to go, slammed on the brakes and got as far across into the curb as I could (scraping the pedal down the high curbside). The very back end of the trailer missed my front wheel by at most 6 inches.
Didn't even get the reg (I think it was a foreign plate) and there were no markings on the rear of the container.
I was properly scared for the first time on the bike.
