Visit Carpathia they say. Not with driving like this I'm not

Really CLose pass from Romanian truck Adrian Trans.
E-mail duly sent as was not happy. LHD truck so he must have known how close he was!

 

[Herzog]

So close he could have shaven your beard off

 

[Graham1426]

Phew that "was" a close one, you could have written "clean me" a long the side

F*** me that was tight, I think I would have taken to the grass. I think he also gave the oncoming car driver a scare, its difficult to tell but it looks like he maybe squeezed you to avoid the on coming car. Whatever the reason he was well out of order, lets hope he gets some grief for it.

A very dangerous pass - hope the driver gets some comeback.

Just an observation... You did seem to be riding the white line which in some cases invites a tight pass?

Got to agree, unfortunately with the amount of traffic on there, Primary wasn't an option, secondary still invites close passes... Difficult to decide what to do for the best in that situation!

Reminds me of a similar ovetake by a car transporter from the Nissan plant near me. it was so close I thought my number was up.

 

[jonny jeez]

Awful pass and he definatley realises (too late) that the oncomming traffic will be an issue. muppet driver.

But I do agree Vike, you really need to be further out. Not primary (ie along the dust track in the centre of the lave) but far enough out to stop drivers even considering "squeezing through" and far enough that...if they do...you have some escape space.

One of the very few occasions when the driver's use of the left hand indicator was entirely and stupidly superfluous!

 

[GetAGrip]

OMG!! I stopped breathing when he got half-way past you. What a knuckle clonker!!

 

[Bluenite]

I pooped a little just watching it

Pardon me for generalising but that's pretty much the norm for european HGV drivers in the Fens. The odd one is better, mostly (again genralising) the ones from Holland. I've had passes as close as that before now, the only saving grace is that you mostly have a grass verge to dive onto if it goes completely Pete Tong.
Bloody scary pass Vike, glad to see you didn't become a statistic mate.
