Wish i'd had a camera- Birmingham commuters beware !!

[upsidedown]

Coming up the A38 this afternoon, single carriageway, lorry approaching the other way, aware of lorry behind (FJ55 TCV, car transporter) and i'm going to be in the 'pinch zone' between them. Lorry behind jut keeps coming, luckily there was a bus stop that i dived in to, he carried on with no more than a foot between him and the kerb where the bus stop finished. Been doing this route since February without incident, if you see him keep well clear at all costs.

So wound up did my ride in 1 hour 35, a record for me on a Friday afternoon !

a risk of A roads I suspect but well done for anticipation and reaction

Which bit of the A38?

From Lickey End (yes really) to Catshill, Bromsgrove.

You've got his reg, it's probably worth reporting him.

I had similar with a construction lorry couple of days ago. He overtook me with inches to spare at speed. I've got it on film. If I can be technically minded enough to work out how to just cut that section out and post it on YouTube I will.

Good anticipation, upsidedown, it just confirms that when riding you need to concentrate and be aware at all times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
