Re: Hit by a 40 tonne truck
Glad to read your Ok even though a bit shaken up. ;)
Sounds cut & dry he was on your side of the carriageway you had nowhere to go. His fault.
Hope it gets sorted & quickly :)

Re: Hit by a 40 tonne truck
oooophf. What the hell is wrong with people. I dont think i would have kept my cool - particularly if he then proceeded to blame you! :-?
Could have been a lot worse. Glad your ok!
Re: Hit by a 40 tonne truck
Astounding glad you are OK - hope you had some witnesses and took photos etc.
Re: Hit by a 40 tonne truck
I had 2 witnesses come forward immediately - the car driver behind me who saw the whole thing, and the Eddie Stobart truck driver who was parked opposite (the parked lorry that was being overtaken by the twat that hit me).
Both drivers said straight away it wasnt my fault, there was nothing I could do, and that the lorry driver who hit me was driving like a C0ck >:(
I took photos of the lorry and the location, but sadly I didnt get my phone out quick enough to capture the lorry driver as he quickly retrieved my bike from under his wheels ::)
Note - My mobile phone was in one of my panniers so I couldnt get at it...
Note to self, in future always carry phone about person, not on bike! :(
At the moment Im dealing with insurance people, legal people, bike hire people, repair people and just about every other people in the world, phone hasn't stopped ringing :'(
Re: Hit by a 40 tonne truck
Hope it all gets sorted asap for you.
Take it steady and get some rest too - it's amazing what shock does.
