Could he have avoided this, he had plenty time to react and move over the opposit side of the road.....not saying it's his fault....just think he's just a bit inexperienced and his judgement slow thinking the truck driver saw and heard him.....how often have we had to take action to avoid a SMIDSY.
^Pretty much sums it up for me. Looks like the lorry driver had no choice but to use the oncoming lane, he just wouldn't have got round the corner else. The moment I saw him turn I thought the biker could've got onto the opposite pavement or done a rapid u-turn.
Like my riding instructor said, treat everything as your fault. Doesn't matter who or what caused the hazard in the first place, the question is how you deal with it.
