Hmm, dodgy IMO but at least he was wearing hi viz

Course, there may have been medical reasons for his actions
and need therapy
he might have been suffering from that 'biker freeze'

>was travelling down the A11 from Norwich to London when another HGV began to overtake him in the outside lane.

some 5 miles back.

>'If the other truck driver had got past me, if I was in front, I would have flashed him in.

in another 5 miles...

>'Is your life not worth waiting just five seconds for one of us to get out of the way?'

When have lorries ever completed an overtake in 5 seconds?!

>Despite both vehicles going at around 60mph...

HGV speed limit on dual carriageway IS 60mph - so why the overtake? Either one was speeding, or one was a couple of mph slower. Either way, the pair probably had a huge tail back behind them from them long drawn out overtake!

>reckless biker put the lives of the two lorry drivers at risk,

as though the biker could have endangered the drivers in their huge cages of steel.

>Mr Thompson only heard the motorbike as it sped past him and had not seen it approaching due to the height of his wing mirrors.

Seriously bad obs. Mirrors irresponsibly not set correctly to see anything below 6' high.

>On the video, it is literally a second or two and he's gone.

Suitably low TED (time exposed to danger).

>Mr Thompson has been a lorry driver for the same company for 13 years, however it was in the armed forces that he first learned how to drive trucks.

Nowt against those in forces, but is it really relevant? May as well tell us one lorry driver was a Virgo and preferred prawn cocktails crisps best...

Meh, why are we even giving this rag any attention?!

1) This is the A11, it is not and I repeat not a bloody motorway, it is a dual carriageway, you get every sort of idiot on it from farmers towing trailers with no working lights on to damn fool Rossi wannabees.

2) The bike did not have to get through much between the two trucks as the one overtaking did not have a trailer on it! You can see that clearly in the video!

3) If numb nuts comes off he will make a very temporary speed bump for the trucks, his bike will suffer modifications due to being impressed into the tarmac and traffic will be held up for about 7 hours as they scrape him up! The truckers will not suffer physical injury!

Never let facts get in the way of a good story eh?

[WULFSTAN]

I personally wouldn't have gone in between two lorrys like that so easy to get killed. Are people in that much of a rush?

So we're all in agreement here that the real problem is the two lorries blocking the dual carriageway for no good reason?

Lol! at the Daily Mail online, full of self-righteous indignation in the comments section, but lured by the "celebrity" titillation in the right-hand pane. Oh wait, The Lovely Debbie McGee™ hints that she's ready to find love again. He-lloooh!

Don't know what the problem is, clearly there's not enough room for an overtake on the outside so straight down the middle it is.

anyone else see the Rainpal comment? >.<

You have to wonder if the motorcyclist mother knows he does those types of things. It's a well known fact that motorcycle helmets restrict the riders view due to the the build up on dirt on their visor and it's even worse in the rain. They also suffer from internal fogging. The biker would not have been riding like this if he could have clearly seen the road ahead.

edit: yes you all did whoops
