So i'm stationary at a zebra crossing waiting for pedos to cross, and a truck pulling out from a side street drives into me!

I guess Tarka was right, and hi-vis is pointless...

Just glad to see you're okay matey. Much damage to your bike?

Yeah just shaken.

Bike not damaged, i felt something pushing the topbox and rear mudflap (his bumper and front left tyre), saw the truck and (managing to keep it upright) rode thru the pedestrian crossing. They looked weird at me, and i stopped just past to check for damage and gesture at the lorry driver

I just cant believe he first didnt see me, and second was going to enter a crossing with people on it in about 3 seconds anyway...

what wanker...

Did you get the company’s name off the truck, if so let them know, he needs to be sacked
But you are okay, that’s what matters

Unfortunately there are plenty of knobbers driving around. Not surprise you're shocked..

You take care fella and try to take it easy today.

Truck as in Articulated Lorry type? - LHD, Foreign maybe?

Saw a similar thing at Westminster Bridge. Lorry waiting to turn down the embankment - bumped and nearly pushed over a young girl on a scoot waiting at the lights as he kept creaping forwards... Cleraly didn't see her, probably down to the height difference, and only stopped as i was shouting and sounding the horn. She was shaken up and in tears, but not hurt, and didnt want to stop! just wanted to get to her destination...

typical reaction of shock, you want to get to what you consider a safe place, all common sense goes out of the window.

If you do have the caompany ring them up and see what they say. What a wanker driver.
