Because its one of the free ones for remixing the audio on there. Hate the song too, btw.

Replied to Kenfo0 with "Aww, is somebody not getting any attention. Poor little lamb, LOL!!"

i got to admit when i cycle through this industrial estate with all the HGVs there are some very good lorry drivers out there,.

The good lorries tend to be from the big companies like eddie stobart and PCL i believe it called haulage firms.

The really bad ones i hate to say it are the polish drivers who i allways find driver you into the kerb also some of the smaller firms seem to not train their drivers in how to overtake and where best to overtake.

A classic error is trying to overtake when a corner/bend is coming up and then having to cut back into the left lane when they relize they not going fast enough before on-coming traffic nears...thus pulling hard into left land and trying to take me out.....

can i punch a lorry as i sign of "wtf you trying to run me over"?

I don't believe you've ever heard of van slapping sir. Though in honesty, HGV trailers aren't linked by anything that would carry a sound should you slap their side.

The best example I know of is this:

If you ignore the fact the cyclist got sworn at, it's a completely successful van slap :smile:

But, IMO, both terrible driving, and terrible cycling. There is no way the cyclist should have gone back down the nearside after the slap. Sometimes you need to take a chil pill and let it go.

I think rather than the cyclist going down the nearside again, it's more a case of the van slowing down and the cyclist maintaining his speed :tongue:

Yes, I'm sure you're right, although I still think I'd be tempted to drop back.

(However, I'll fully admit that it's equally likely I wouldn't if I was actually in that situation and the adrenaline was flowing).

Why do some people feel they have to defend transparently dreadful driving when a cyclist is involved?

If they had been in a car and someone did to them what happens to cyclists in these videos would they somehow consider it entirely acceptable?
