Just to be clear, the hand gesture mitigated the offence and meant a lot to me; a few people think I'm being sarcastic. Petrosexuals who are messaging to say "YOu HaD PLENtY oF TIME To stOp" don't seem to understand. It's his job to stop. It was my priority. I made sure he understood that because stopping for him permissions his bad driving, which could result in someone's death.

These are just the replies I had time to look at, and they may not even be the best.

So you exercised good awareness, 'you anticipated he was going to turn right'. He started his manoeuvre well before you were anywhere near the junction. So why not adjust your speed 🤔 Let him finish, and get out of your way. Was it because that wouldn't make for a good video 🤔 Instead, you chose to ignore the risk you had already anticipated and place yourself into a dangerous and very stupid road position 🙄 But hey, at least you got your video content 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Why don’t you stop accelerating into obstructions? I was in a similar situation as a pedestrian - cyclist almost crashed into me. Then he claimed it would have been my problem if he had. There’s also no license plate system system so cyclists routinely run red lights. Not good

I didn’t speed up. The focal length changed on the camera. Just admit that you hate people who cycle … it’ll be much quicker.

The driver began indacating at this point. Instead of wagging your finger at him, you could have slowed down at a *checks notes* junction?

I agree the lorry driver should have taken some more care. However, you're going pretty fast on that bike in a very built up area Jeremy. Maybe you too should slow down a bit? Indication was well in advance to warn you!!!

Going too fast? About 10mph.
