I watch this several times and could not make up my mind on it, but the previous comment has prompted a review and I think the lorry driver had not set up for the turn, he is very close to the kerb on the main road before turning, I would have expected a lorry driver to pull away from the curb as much as possible as it helps your lane position as you turn in to the side street.

Even still, regardless of who's at fault, if you sense physical danger in any situation, trying to talk your way out of it simply doesn't work, especially when talking to a lorry with a crash helmet on.  :lol

I agree, hence him jumping ship eventually. I do wonder if he had beeped his horn whether the truck driver would of reacted due to the over use of horns in that environment.

All the more reason to get yourself a decent horn, especially in London or other very busy cities.
He would've certainly heard my air horn, which i would've been using on the right side of that lorry rather than in front of it.  :lol

I've had mine a couple of months now and only used it 3 times. Mine is mounted with the mouth of the horn facing the inside of the faring, do you think this reduces its noise levels at all?

I wouldn't have thought so, as long as the mouth isn't blocked in any way.
Mine faces downwards to prevent any water issues.

fair enough, sounds quieter when out and about, but that may be earplugs and helmet muffling it.
