I have learn't something and that it to not trust HGVs in any situation. In future I intend to stay well back. My point is that while I should have showed restraint in this case, the driver is still driving his Hgv in an unsafe manner. Perhaps the driver will have learnt something also.
have you also learn't the Highway Code guidance on cross hatched areas with a dashed line?
Enter only if necessary and you can see it is safe to do so.
Do you think either applied in this case?
