Today I saw a cyclist undertake a skip truck that was already indicating and halfway through executing a move into a lane to the left.
I asked him if he was aware of what he had just done, and he was.
I explained that I was actually concerned for his safety, as it was a very dangerous move to make, the lorry had no way of seeing him, and that someone had only been killed yesterday by what sounds like a left turning skip lorry.
He suddenly looked ashen and was very thankful for my pointing it out.
It's a shame that we need such truly appalling examples to help explain to people what the risks are.
