I was overtaken by a Lorry on the approach to an island this morning (No issues with overtake... plenty of room)
As I approached the back of the lorry I saw its indicator but as I got closer I heard a loud bleeper, And I thought "Aghhhhh he's reversing!" but then the bleeper shouted "WARNING THIS VEHICLE IS TURNING LEFT."
Wow.... what a good idea, I've never come across this before.... Is it common on new lorries? and does it come on with indicators (as it seemed to start later than indicators as I had already seen them) or does the driver press it when he overtakes a cyclist near a junction.
Note: I wasn't going to go up the inside of said lorry I always wait behind vehicles that will squash me and my bike properly.....
