If I was wearing that head cam it would be advisable to turn the sound down before playing that clip as the running commentary would have been far more colourfull

.

Clearly the lorry driver is at fault but look at it from his angle as he is turning the n/s windscreen pillar is perfectly in line with driver & biker forming a blind spot.

Crickey, so so so lucky to have jumped to safety.

Poor biker and have to say poor lorry driver as he won't have done it on purpose Im sure and I'm sure he felt pretty crap afterwards.

The lorry driver should have checked before he made that turn and should have noticed the bike.
He should have, at least gone straight to the rider and checked he was OK...sod the lorry or bike you moron

.
What a prat to start reversing onto a busy road once he had hit
him, how the F@ck did he not know that there was someone trapped, what a plank

.

You do have blind spots in trucks, but he should have seen the bike if he was taking notice, get the Police to check his mobile

Bloody hell. 100% lorry driver fault. This is what frightens me the most on the road, moreso as a cyclist.

I's OK, the rest of the traffic was reversing too, so no harm done.
