Shocking, but at least the driver stopped. Plenty of folk would have just driven off.

f**king hell, that must have been awful - you can see the truck coming straight for you and there's nothing you can do about it.

If he was on the bike properly, he should have opened it up a bit, would have avoided it.

Ouch! Could have been far worse.

And that one truck driver is the main reason why I would not get a bike, there are unaware drivers out there that can wipe you out. I know a few that have gone this way.

Stay safe riders!
