  • Riding down Buckingham Palace Road, going pretty quick, probs 18-20 mph, in front of a taxi and with no traffic in front of me. Taxi decides to overtake me, fair enough, as it's doing so a 3663 delivery truck starts reversing straight backwards about 30ft ahead, 2m on my left. As the taxi is almost alongside me (with 1ft or so gap) the truck suddenly starts swinging the cab round to the right, still reversing, closing the gap to about 20cm and forcing me to swerve into that 1ft-2ft space between me and the now parallel cab. During all of this I would have been fully visible in the trucks wing mirrors. WAFC. I just squeezed through. It would have been full game over. Taxi was being a bit twattish overtaking in that scenario but really it was 95% the truck driver being a FUCKING IDIOT. I'm going to report the driver. I don't have the plates but i've got the company, location and time. Shat myself and had to react v quickly, it all happened in the space of 3-4 seconds.

    qualifies as an oh shit moment
