Is it a, 'see how close we can get the HGV to the cyclist' competition? Video

Of course you need your mirrors when overtaking a cyclist, most particularly in a long vehicle. How else would they know they have cleared you sufficiently to begin pulling back to the nearside?

Scary overtake but riding so close to the gutter only encourages it.

Joined 2012 and has basically abused cyclists ever since.

Oh dear. Having seen the Hingly Transport google plus page I'd say that's likely to be deliberate. You should go to the police.

Might be worth getting a screenshot of those comments. Possibly someone is using that company name to roam youtube looking for cyclists to abuse, or it could be someone from the company. Could even be the driver.

@HushLegs thank you for bring this to my attention we will be investigating this issue, also A Hingley transport as no social media accounts

The company have not made contact with me at all.

Obviously safety of the general public is of upmost importance.


I really do hope it was not A Hingley Transport company that told me to "No.. F*** off and get a life"

You can see the comment to my video here

A reputable company would surely not say something like that to a concerned member of the public over the safety standards of one of its HGV drivers? Surely they take safety seriously?

OP have you thought of approaching Tata steel about one of their "professional" contractors damaging their image? you may get more mileage out of them.

Both feeds are pretty current, so a tweet on either ought to get their attention.
