So much for sharing the road with this MH driver. So much for controlling your speed so that you can stop before you hit a cyclist on a narrow road.
Good post excellent point.
Fact is most drive beyond safety margins by driving fast as they can, thinking it's within reason and are unconcerned with how those safety margins change. They also ignore the potential things that can happen and don't leave enough time to correct if all the wrong circumstances arise at once. It's sad to see such lack of concern for others.
