Also as a lorry driver i get the hump with bikes when there is a bike lane and bikes dont use them, also when we come to traffic lights how they come up the inside to get to the front!!! when the lights go green as hard as you peddle the truck will be moving faster and having to over take a bike again is puts the bike rider in danger , then you come to another set off lights and the thing starts over again, i think thats why driver dont like cyclist, yeah i think some drivers are dicks and rude but we have to use the roads together, i think if everyone who rides a bike never come up the inside off a truck 90% off deaths wouldnt happen, most do when the truck turns left and this would cut that out,

They're called Cyclist Advance Junctions and they have been put in place for the safety of cyclists.
It's obviously a fact that vehicles go faster than cyclists and I think in order for us to get on, it would help if you didn't get the hump because you have to over take us all the time.
I don't mean you, I mean the majority of vehicle drivers. They should put themselves in our shoes as much as we should yours. But the fact is, as I had to explain to a tipper driver, we're the vulnerable ones here.
