Everyone needs to understand one thing about HGV & long vehicles - THEY HAVE TON OF BLINDSPOTS. They have a look & think they're clear but if you're way too close or at a certain angle then your life's really dependent on your guardian angel & luck 🤷♂️
For the sake of your loved ones be careful around them. Can't blame the operators of these machines.

Yep. A good rule of thumb is if you can't see the driver's eyes in the wing mirror, then they can't see you.

Driver wasn't being reckless at all. Made a perfectly legal turn. The biker was in a blind spot and way to close to the truck. No common sense.
