VocalNeal Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The motorcycle must have been really close or trying to pass on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the truck was reversing fast up the hard shoulder and caught the motorcyclists by surprise I cannot understand how the motorcyclists managed to get themselves in a position to get run over by a reversing truck... Well, actually, I can.... driving here I have to be very careful when turning or manoeuvring. Even with indicators my on, motorcyclists will still attempt to squeeze through the tiniest of gaps. Whenever reversing out into traffic or changing lanes etc... the motorcycles just keep on coming, ultimately we have to go with the idea that ‘they’ll just have to avoid me’ or we’ll never get anywhere. In this case, I wonder how the girls got ‘trapped’ were they trying to squeeze through where they couldn’t instead of waiting ? Tragic loss of life We obviously don’t know the whole story, but I’m not sure the lorry driver is completely at blame here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
