Is there any risk here?

Here's a wee, spot the risk video. All well in the end, but it helps to keep us on our toes....

Nice one Dave! Must admit I'd have been very tempted to wave the lorry ahead of me.

Then get in its slipstream

I think I would have done this too.

Lane swappers are always on the cards. Years of motorcycling has taught me never to trust any of those tin can driving, mobile chatting, coffee slurping, lipstick fixing, radio blaring, nose picking, multitasking types...oops ranting again...

I could have done, but it turned out that he stayed in that lane anyway.

A little while later I left him for dust anyway as we hit the rush hour traffic queue.

funnily enough i just had a similar situation with a van in standing traffic turning left down a side road without indicating. i had decided not to risk going up the inside of it - if i had it would have taken me out for sure. a year ago i did go up the inside of a car which turned left and broke my arm. nice to know i'm learning something

I saw the lorry, and then expected the car behind the lorry to change lanes far too late, btw.

Had an awesome commute tonight, had a great couple of miles of interaction with a very good Veolia driver in an artic. I noticed his exceptional driving!!

Couldn't see the wheels move on the vid but those tipper/skip trucks are a hazard from any angle!!

Tsk, tsk, you've failed the task...


Aye there are quite a few on my commute at the moment. Certainly worth keeping an eye on.

I think my observation failed tonight I've never actually took this route before but in the right turn here, I didn't expect the car in front to make a Uturn and head back to a heavy traffic jam . I'm glad I put new brake pads on last night.

I didn't cycling was allowed on the Western Approach Road, have the rules changed?

I don't know about the whole length but there are no restrictions between Lothian Road and Canning Street.
