Trucks and bikes do not mix. I always get past them as quick as I can.
Trucks can throw out 50 pound chunks of rubber behind and to the sides when a tire shreds and it sounds like dynamite going off. Never trust a truck.
Bet the bike in front in that picture can't really see the truck either, but he can probably hear his stacks lol
Maybe that should be the title of the thread?
+1 to all the statements.
A mistake many car drivers (and probably some riders) make is pulling in too quickly after overtaking a truck. If they then have to stops suddenly, they're in deep strife. Trucks are big, heavy brutes and take a long time to stop, squashing many things in their way.
Keep well away from them.
