Caught on camera: Terrifying incident involving lorry and cyclist on busy road

Cyclist almost feels the force as Joda truck breathes down his neck

A recently uploaded YouTube video shows a lorry driving along inches – if not millimetres – behind a cyclist. As the two exit the shot, it appears that the truck begins to overtake the cyclist, allowing minimal space. The incident is thought to have taken place earlier in the week in Bradford.

The uploader, skip_1, describes what is seen as a truck ‘almost tapping’ a cyclist. “As they went past the cyclist waved at the front of the truck and shouted to the driver to 'F off'. Listen carefully and you can hear the cyclist shout through the open sunroof.”

No further information is given, but some of those leaving comments are of the opinion that the incident took place in Bradford.

The truck involved clearly bears the branding of a firm called Joda Freight who are based in Keighley. Road.cc tried to get in contact with them, but no-one was available for comment.

Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

This is one of the worst stories I've seen on here. A 7 second video show what looks to be a lorry close to a cyclist, but the angle it is filmed could just show it worse than it seems.

This isn't even news, it is barely forum material, who screens stories before they are published, because the "clickbait" is getting worse.

Well, you're not *required* to read it or comment.
In any case, check out the shadows and wheel contact points in the still above, it looks at *least* as bad as it appears at first glance.
