haha yeah I saw that. That was a pretty egregious SMIDGAF from that trucker.
I personally would have likely just put the power down and swung left into the oncoming lane and continued on, before the truck even started to pull out onto the road.

whatever the circumstances, stay clear of large trucks turning.
also, I imagine a car driver doing the same thing and having to move away.

Cyclist also shouldn’t have stopped though. That gave the semi the signal to go ahead.

The only tragedy is the cyclist had waste time to report the driver to employer and state without any reward. Maybe he should have sacrificed the bike and it would have been NBD…. “Oh that squashed thing is a colnago Vr4, I’ll send the deets to your insurance.”

Of course they side with the cyclist. The truck should have waited for the road to be clear

Take down his plates and any “how’s my driving” stuff on the back and try to contact the company: Get this asshole fired or into remedial training before he kills somebody!
