Good point in seeing the driver in time and using your horn, but would it not be better if you just used it to make the driver aware of your presence as opposed to being aggressive with it caussing him to become aggressive in return.

The horn is only used for about a second the rest of the clip is slowed down by about 200% I totaly agree with you though!

Close call - I wonder if this bloke was related to the complete and utter twat who was driving a Royal Mail lorry this morning on the A361 as I was riding to work - he was wandering all over the road and up the grass verge three times in the space of a few hundred yards!!

Ride safe all, and keep Your eyes peeled cos they are all out to get you.
