I worked in the transport industry for a few years and saw and heard of some nasty stuff.
Winds me up no end when I give one room and people push past me left right and centre to make the gap when you really don't need to. (Do you reallllllly need to get to work that bad?)
The fact I have been in a car vs truck accident and came of very worse for wear also means I am probably more cautious than most.

I reckon I'm seeing a near miss of varying severity between a cyclist and an HGV almost every day on my commute from SE1 to SW10. So many pinch points on Chelsea Embankment. Nasty little one on south side of Lambeth Bridge too. Really innocuous piece of road where a lorry turning left can suddenly eat up all the space up to the kerb.
Its really starting to freak me out. I don't want to see somebody go under the wheels of a lorry.
