Today I nearly got cleaned up by a semi trailer, the kind that's a dump truck with another trailer on the back. The road I was on is one lane each way in an 80km/h zone and I had come to a stop at the traffic lights and so did the car behind me, however the semi trailer truck behind that car didn't! I could see it happening in my rear view mirror and was helpless, there was nothing I could do as there were cars coming down the other side of the road. In the end the truck driver just couldn't brake in time and ended up going off road to the left over the bike lane and onto the grass and coming to a stop at about my passenger side door! Gawd I thought I was done for and there was nothing I could do about it. Very lucky and I am VERY unimpressed by the truck driver >:( Very glad he had an empty load too.
For those that know the area, I was heading South on Plenty Road and stopped at the lights at Hawkestowe.
