    Trucks and bikes

    If you cant see a trucks mirrors, he cant see you.. http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf...otorcycles.htm
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Seeing the mirrors is one thing ... seeing the DRIVER in the mirrors is another ...

    Agreed 100%. Have nearly done this myself when backing a transporter with a D8 onboard, Never saw the guy come up behind me,luckily his really angry pillion had jumped off and was running around shouting and shit I think we were both to blame but taught me a valuable lesson for sure.

    Just assume that big cloud of dirty spray and crap travelling down the road in front of you is a truck. Same with the truck too though, hard to see whats behind you in the rain.Espessially old volvo f10,s.Farkin terrible mirrors.

    It's not only trucks that do this, I was coming out of a shopping car park and the car in front of me decided to change his mind and reversed into me, no damage fortunately.
    Also had this happen to me in a car, sitting behind a 4x4 at a petrol station waiting my turn to fill up and he decided he did not want to go out the exit but out the entrance behind me, so he reversed....into me.

    I am not paranoid, but they are all out to get me.
    Think of others before yourself
