The Beemer was tail gating the lorry, and pulled out as I was bang alongside - looking out of the passenger window, I saw his face as he pulled out on me. But our wing mirrors were level when he pulled out.As another that uses that road daily, I see it all the time too. In that situation I wouldn't have swerved and risked being jammed into the armco, I'd have kept my line and let him realise I was there when our mirrors touched.
But, I'd be in either two and a half tonnes of Range Rover or a company Astra van. In one case I'd have come off better no matter what and in the other I wouldn't give a shit......
