A motorcyclist had a harrowing near-miss with a large lorry that was driving head-on into oncoming traffic. The incident occurred on a road where traffic was standstill in one direction due to a crash, while the opposite direction was clear. The motorcyclist was shocked to see the lorry traveling on the wrong side of the road, and they were forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
The motorcyclist, an experienced rider, was traveling at 40mph in a 50mph zone when they encountered the lorry. They narrowly avoided a head-on collision by pulling over to the side of the road as far as possible. The rider described the moment as more of a "what are you doing?" moment rather than a panicked "oh my God, I'm going to die" moment.
The motorcyclist shared footage of the incident on social media, which showed the lorry and a Subaru appearing on the empty road. The rider can be seen pulling over to avoid the collision, and the lorry continues forward, passing just inches from the bike. The motorcyclist reported the incident to the police and shared the footage as evidence of "driving without due care and attention".
The motorcyclist expressed anger and disbelief at the incident, stating that they were appalled by the lorry driver's actions. They emphasized the importance of awareness for drivers, noting that motorcyclists are watching and recording their surroundings, and will share footage of reckless driving. The police are currently processing the report and attempting to identify the driver of the lorry.
The incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the need for drivers to be aware of their surroundings. The motorcyclist's decision to share the footage serves as a reminder to drivers to exercise caution and respect the safety of other road users. The police are taking action to address the incident, and the motorcyclist hopes that it will raise awareness and promote safer driving habits.
