Thanks guys, that's really helpful.

I see the driver has a personalised number plate.

That little lever next to the sign would be very tempting indeed.....

Prat plate is I believe the term used by traffic plod, very apt in this case.

It's sensible advice. If tempted to cycle up the nearside of a large vehicle like that, one should back off.

Indeed, because if you came up behind that vehicle in poor visibility it would be reasonable to assume it had overturned.
The lower three reflectives are incorrectly fitted.

Some people on here really don't have a sense of humour do they.Obviously the missing two letters are Ba.

Be careful.... That lever releases a boxing glove on a very springy spring!!

Odd for a test centre!

But not for a dissolved company

"Description
J.R.W. Transport Ltd was set up on 11 Nov 2004 and has its registered office in Durham. Its current status is listed as "Dissolved" and it had 0 directors at the time it closed. J.R.W. Transport Ltd has no subsidiaries."

Now the question of how old's the photo and where was it actually taken?

Askmid has the vehicle attached to the numberplate having insurance...

Not the same company as given in the thread title though. And I've seen plenty of vehicles on the roads, where they haven't painted over/removed the old operators paintwork.

I'm posted this photo on twitter today and I've joined the forum to answer some of your questions.

It's sensible advice. If tempted to cycle up the nearside of a large vehicle like that, one should back off.

I take it you are joking? As you can see in the photo, there isn't enough room for a stray cat between the nearside of the vehicle and the cycle lane construction barriers.

Some people on here really don't have a sense of humour do they.Obviously the missing two letters are Ba.

The word "Back" isn't offensive, so they wouldn't need to use "??" if they meant "Back"? They could just print "Back off".

Someone on twitter pointed out "The sign in the middle concerns me, 'protected by 12 gauge' WTF"

I also noticed they have a decal of a kid flipping the bird right next to their sign about how the driver can't see you if you can't see him. I highlighted it in this photo:

So I'm pretty convinced by the drivers general attitude expressed in these stickers he wants cyclists to f?ck off.

Regarding your posts, the photo was taken this morning 2/12/2015 on Mile End Road, just past Stepney Green station.

I'm pretty sure it's this company https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03102759 - JRW HAULAGE LIMITED in Bristol. One of the directors is called Joseph Raymond WYATT, so works with the JRW.

Also, if you google their address, there are a couple of blue lorries parked in their yard https://t.co/7pCES23bej

At the end of the day, I didn't like the sentiment expressed in the "cyclists ??ck off" sticker. And with the CS2 cycle lane construction going on, that road is so much more treacherous than usual for cyclists. I don't like to think I'm cycling near someone in a HGV with a chip on his shoulder and a really bad attitude to cyclists who might want to express that.

Have a good evening all.

Humbug missing though!

So back off. That's exactly my point.

Loads of people have stupid and mildly offensive bumper stickers. They're just a joke.

That's the joke.
