I see that (or something similar) on a lot of lorries.
the problem I have is that a lot of lorries often overtake me at the approach to roundabouts or junctions so put me on the "suicide" side.www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -

Yeah, I agree, when it happens I always keep out of the way as best I can until the lorry is well out of the waywww.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

I was once "run over" by a cyclist while riding a motorbike. I was in heavy London traffic filtering through. I could see a bus immanently about to move out to rejoin from a drop off, there was a narrow gap, so I held back. A road cyclists so impatient to get through lifted his bike over my front wheel (though he actually ended up dragging the crank and chain across my front guard). He got 1/3 down the bus when the bus pulled out as predicted. Cyclist then proceeds to bang on the side of the bus, while getting squashed up against the car in the other lane. Totally obvious, totally predictable, would have taken 5 seconds for him to wait.
Its not just cyclists, you see drivers passing lorries on roandabouts having to mount the curb to avoid being crushed and plenty of scooters will go up the inside of a lorry on the approach to lights. In all cases the bit that is missing is the risk vs reward assessment. Its the same for motorcyclists who filter at 70mph. They are taking huge risk for maybe a 5 or 6 minute saving. Now when the traffic is doing 20mph the benefit is huge for much lower risk.0
