Tried to screen grab this but it kind of messed up a bit, so I apologise for that. Appears the news site has some kind of filter thing over it trying to stop me.
The basics of this is that someone was riding a bicycle to work one morning and a police officer stopped them for legal riding. Dont know if this is a fit, will remove if not.
Lorries. They overtake and pull in before they're past you, so you're forced off the road.
Funnily enough a policeman asked me to report this every time I saw it, because he knew there were a couple of particular drivers who kept doing it and they wanted plenty of evidence.
Where I am I've never really had an issue with lorries, they always seem to be aware of where I am and pass with more than enough space. Smaller 7.5 ton (usually scaffolders) however don't seem to have the same awareness in my experience.
