saw something similar the other morning when leaving my house. Large tipper lorry slowing to turn left off Coldharbour Lane onto Lilford Road. The very act of slowing down approaching this side road was enough for me to see it was turning left as it was approaching a side road with no other traffic in front. He was also indicating with an audible turning signal. Low and behold, some bellend on a ratty road bike, with head phones in (not the most important factor but usually points out dickheads to me and in this case it was correct) canes it up the left hand side of this lorry. Thank god it was a) already slowing, b) unladen and c) being driven by an attentive driver because the next thing I know he slams on the anchors and blasts his horn. I was enough for me to shout "fucking hell" from across the road but not enough to make the bellend pay any more attention than he was already. The lorry didn't have a company name or else I would have definitely contact the company to praise the awareness of the driver. I just hope he doesn't think we're all like that.
