Cyclist Shakes His Head At Me!

[@TheWonderfulStevieP]

He's shaking his head at the car that overtook into oncoming traffic. Looks like he appreciated your patience!

[@spiderman01980]

TheWonderfulStevieP and then still carried on indicating making everyone think his taking a right turn and carried on straight. That the point he shook his head, when the car went past the turn.

[@tommacz9088]

Well done, as a cyclist we never know what the driver is thinking, you'll have to forgive the cyclists emotions (since he is nervous with the heavy and large vehicle behind him). If more drivers were as thoughtful and conscientious as you, the roads would be much safer.

[@lukecinahgv]

Thanks tom :)

[@ryanedge1996]

That wasn't at you, it was the aimed at the car. But he did feel under pressure with you behind. Not terrible mate and respect for not doing anything stupid it's just cyclists have to expect the stupid!

[@whardyphotography]

Couldn't have said it better myself! It's incredibly comforting to know there are some drivers out there who care!

[@stevoone342]

Most HGV drivers do try to keep a safe distance and safe planing around cyclists mainly due to drivers are held to account for there actions better than cyclists are held to there's. And are trained. Not to say there are the odd bad but rear HGV driver out there.

[@thesupercarspotter3679]

Even tho they all seem to think that traffic lights do not apply to them. Who do they think they are?

In Australia, We usually build the Roads before We build the Houses.

[@danwok]

You done everything right with the cyclist Luke. They just don't understand how long it takes to overtake when fully loaded. Like you said, he realised in the end and at least he recognised that fact and I have a feeling he was shaking his head at car that over took both of you.

[@munchmk2801]

There are many cyclists who dont consider other people, but some of us do. Im very passionate about trucking, it runs in the family and I also cycle on public roads. I always make a habit of pulling over to let vehicles pass, especially trucks. I always try to ride on country roads with very little traffic. Cyclists do have a bad name, but good cyclists do exist and I hope people appreciate us!

[@danwok]

bishplis do you not understand English? Luke stayed behind because he was fully loaded. It would of took 1/4 mile to overtake. If you can't see far enough ahead and he committed and then something came the other way ,the cyclist would of been in danger. He done the right thing staying behind.

[@danwok]

What are you getting at? It's doesn't matter what you drive. If you are a twat and dangours then that's that. The important thing here is Luke done everything right to keep the cyclist safe. It's called experienced and consideration for other road users. Not all lorry drivers are arseholes.

[@kindnessark8064]

Can I simply say I think your a very good truck drive mate! A VERY good truck driver. As a cyclist I find trucks can be scary on the road, and seeing a clip like this (despite the cyclists mood nodding at you), it was very nice and good of you to wait. So thank you! Often cycling if I see built up traffic or a truck I will pull over to let them pass when I can.

[@lukecinahgv]

+kindness ARK was literally no point in overtaking as I'd be turning off. Also, I don't wanna overtake unless I'm sure it's safe to do so for all involved. Thanks for watching bud :)

[@lukecinahgv]

+kindness ARK p.s I've joined that group you told me about ;)

[@cyclistar7601]

Good driving. As with others, he may not have appriciated the distance it would take you to pass safetly. He probably could hear and see it was clear, where as you could not and was "confused" Like others, I too would pull in to let a HGV pass safetly, if I was unnecessarily holding everyone up. Not every trip needs to be a strava segment to beat! Sharetheroad.

[@sjsbh3580]

LOL Luke, you funny man. I think those construction workers are singing or at least practicing the beginning of Ricky Martin's song 'Maria'.

[@james1695]

cyclist don't like it when a big trucks drive slow behind them because usually they do it to mock them, cycling on the road you have to deal with hecklers people honking for no reason and cars driving very close on purpose. so you were just chilling behind probably giving him a stressful situation

[@karlwells1576]

Hey Luke, Really enjoy your videos :) Gives me a good insight of lorry driving as I paid for my training and have theory test's this week, so thanks for the great content :). also the time lapse is a nice touch. :D

[@altern8ive]

right, disclaimer im a cyclist but im not an inconsiderate muppet with it. he had plenty of options to pull in, spend a little more than 15 seconds to let you pass but no, he tanks off at a rate of knots trying to hold a speed which he thinks helps you to pass and overcooks it, ramps up his heartrate, runs out of steam and then wobbles his head. he should be grateful for the interval session ha :)

[@lukecinahgv]

It was no biggie. I wasn't in a rush to overtake. I think he thought i could have done alot easier then i actually could of. It was better in my opinion just to sit back. i had to turn off soon anyway :) Thanks for watching bud

[@OldSkoolBiker62]

Haha did the magic roundabout about 20 years ago.. truck and trailer.. glad I never returned the same way as I went lol..

[@KevTee]

nice one Luke, trying to get passed cyclists in the artic can be a bit problematic at the best of times, they usually end up stopping to let me pass :D

[@frankzappa5149]

i'm also sure he's shaking is head at the car, great driving on your part.

[@harold-sweat-head8111]

There's a big dilemma about my big leg Emma.

[@BrunoSalcedo]

You are a good driver mate, keeping it safe for all of us, thanks!

[@dongcdfb7c]

good on ya Luke, I often get a bit stressed and pissed off when a truck is trying to overtake me safely by waiting behind me. I think it just makes me a bit nervous and scared to be honest as well as feeling a bit selfish for holding up traffic.

[@elerijones832]

Hyia Luke C, i think ur a fantastic driver, great video with great sense of humour,doing a great job. 👌👌👍😃

[@mr911jyym]

you have a great attitude, as you should being a truck driver. I used to deliver tarmac as well, missed it now that i watched this :-) drive safe!

[@alanscott989]

That was a tight squeeze for the first drop , so imagine the fun they had getting that paver in .

[@LHBattlefield3]

Legit, I'd be able to drive with your Driving License, we freakishly look alike.

[@adamp3108]

Does your boss provide your PPE or do you have to buy it? Thanks

[@lewis8634]

Are you still enjoying this job as much as you did when you started ?

[@IanRM]

Good vid, Luke. Agree 100% on cars not parking badly. Every day I pass roads that an ambulance wouldn't get through let alone a fire engine. IanRInABMaxCar (Swindon Subscriber)

[@ayo2036]

He shook his head at the guy the overtook you without seeing him, then he gave u the thumbs up for your driving before you turned left.

[@onajourney2072]

I'm both an Class I driver and cyclist so I can see this from both sides. Not easy, but some cyclists don't get close enough to the kerb.

[@Dwils93]

Don't think turning loop off will help as the camera does that for each clip it makes and it'll still make the 5 min clips regardless of its loop or not, only thing that'll do is stop the camera over writing the oldest recorded file

[@wasuprobleemjoh]

we got cyclepaths everywhere, cant be that hard to make them...

[@ryexj6273]

Another great I was only thinking about doin my licence a couple of months ago now your videos have made me get a shift on booked my theory for march sorted a driving school cannot wait to start now!!

[@yamyamrob4130]

top video again luke great footage as always -that was a tight entrance for 1st tip -u getting v pro now with ur vids even got "banging beats" Inc safe trucking mt

[@0161-e4o]

I've quit my job.. I want this job, infact NEED this job

[@eamonnca1]

He was probably shaking his head at the car's dodgy overtaking. He didn't seem to have a problem with you at all.

[@grahamdavidhardy158]

Get a Luke C in a HGV key fob for your wagon keys.

[@ksjammy12HD]

what age was you when you first started truck driving also what was the jobs you had before you started driving I can recall you working at pc world ( I think) but I was wondering if you did any other work

[@daryllrae9235]

He wasn't shaking it at you but the car in front

[@josephstott5027]

The Cyclist may have been shaking his head at the car that overtook you both

[@jameswhyte8345]

When you say you are being pushed do they literally push you or do you creep forward. Great video as always.

[@lukecinahgv]

James Whyte literally push. I'm in neutral on the breaks. If I brake to hard we both stop, if I don't brake enough the I slide forward (due to weight pushing out) and then I come if the paver meaning tarmac goes all over the floor. They literally push you 👌

[@jameswhyte8345]

Luke C in a HGV ahh right that's different I have been learning on tautliners and flatbeds so always good to learn something new.

[@SKBKER]

You are a very nice driver . I think the cyclist was shaking his head at the driver who overtook you . Personally I would have shouted at the driver for being an impatient twat . A lot of them are these days .

[@jamesjay8951]

Hi luke great video as always. What is the music you use when the edit of the video is speed up? it sounds pretty good.

[@lukecinahgv]

check the description mate. I've just put the link there :)

[@weir-t7y]

"why you shaking your head" tailgating

[@lukecinahgv]

Tailgating ? 😂 Miles away.

[@weir-t7y]

Luke C in a HGV if a car were to brake in front of you at that distance you'd hit them and it would be in a brake check compilation

[@weir-t7y]

Luke C in a HGV also as somebody else pointed out he seems to be shaking his head at the other driver

[@tonetoobtwo]

He was crawling along and could have pulled up very quickly... if all truck drivers were like this chap, the roads would be a bloody marvellous!

[@RichardWraith]

Cyclist totally wasnt shaking his head at you bud, far from it, he was clearly rolling his eyes and shaking his head at the silver motor that went past you into oncoming traffic :-)

[@Chris-mn7yy]

I cycle, and also drive 30k per year. If i'd been on my bike i'd of moved in for you to pass. Thanks for being such a patient HGV driver, not all are like that. The cyclist was not as empathetic as you pal.

[@Chris-mn7yy]

I bet you wear pink spandex, I mean at home not on your bike.

[@driewiel]

He was shaking his head because he also thinks 3 minute segments are kinda short for video editing. BTW. Why on earth isn't there a sign cyclists can ignore the light at 50:10 ? The road is too narrow for 2 cars. But a bicycle and a car is not a problem. They'll be out of the way quicker. And this situation is very recognizable. I indicate they can pass me. Come on then dammit! But then they stick behind me because they need to turn left or or right. I can't see that. Nobody likes cars being stuck behind a cyclist.Including the cyclist himself.

[@woychck4]

Here in the states, specially here in State of California when towing or commercial vehicle were limited to 55 mph on highways or interstate roads. Know how you feel about the cyclist and the 4 wheelers ( Idiot Car drivers!) as a commercial driver. Thanks for the great video.

[@kevhunta]

nice one with the cyclist well done you

[@pony133]

Great film bud

[@LiquidBlackWolf]

Google maps are spot on like 90%& of the time

[@jnbarnes14]

How do you make a guy shaking his head a 1 hour long video? 😂

[@lukecinahgv]

I don't. 😂 That's just one part of the video. But if I name everything that happens in the title it wouldn't be a very interesting title 😉😁

[@jnbarnes14]

@@lukecinahgv Yeah I get it, I just thought it was kinda funny 😄

[@Dwils93]

Would've been good to see you being pushed in full screen

[@endacarey]

The driver in this video is shocking! First rule of driving is two hands on steering wheel where possible. This guys left hand appears to be allergic to the steering wheel. Plus, his one handed positioning at 51:00 is disgraceful. And this person is in charge of an LKV! Please pay more action to your actions rather than others

[@lukecinahgv]

e carey what's a LKV? 😂

[@lukecinahgv]

e carey also, don't be pathetic. No one died. I'm a safe driver.

good stuff nice insight to your work

U need a Masturbator Fleshlight when you have to wait just to past the time :) Its ok i am a dirty trucker comes with the job. Great Channel Sub from me !

Did tarmac myself luke c for cemex shap quarry cumbria county council . And .metcalfe bros plant fair days ..100 pounds a tonne .when I was on .also.did the heysham link rd ..that was out of a tarmac.ltd quarry .4 yes ago nearly now.or so . .

[@AlexGreenwoodUkulele]

You were following pretty closely, if he came off you might have ploughed over him.

[@lukecinahgv]

One less cyclist :D No, I made a point of keeping away from him. I was watching him all the time, If he fell of, I'd of stopped in time, Then laughed.

[@AlexGreenwoodUkulele]

Hehhehe, I think we all would have laughed, to be honest. But yes, some cyclists, like myself, can get a bit fussy with a lorry behind us, and us cyclists can never know if a driver is paying a good amount of attention. There's a difference to how close you can be with paying attention like you were here and if the driver is paying sloppy glances. I'll trust your insight, and besides, no one knows the capabilities of your lorry like you do, so I truly understand where your justification sits. :) Just bear in mind some are very cautious. Three second following gaps are recommended for cyclists and any vehicle, but as long as you know you can stop if he comes off, I'm happy with that. :)

[@liamp2619]

This. I reckon he found it quite stressful having you drive that close behind him. You clearly did the right thing in not overtaking (hence the thanks/thumbs up) but it would have been better and safer to stay a few meters further back and give him more room. Yes you may have stopped but he can't be sure of that and it's really scary being followed closely by an HGV - a cyclist can hit the deck in an instant if the front wheel loses grip or punctures.

[@galaxy5801]

Should've drove over him 😂

[@slowdownmoveoversharethero9701]

We have laws and rules when it comes to motorist and cyclist. If you hit us and run over us we can sue you and throw you in Jail. The Feds has a new law that requires commercial vehicles and all vehicles to approach, pass and clear the cyclist by 3 foot.. So from the looks at everything most motorist would pass the cyclist putting the rider and everyone else in danager and you need to realize that the cyclist is not responsible for the accident you cause.

[@galaxy5801]

Safety First Get a mountain bike and ride on trails lol

[@slowdownmoveoversharethero9701]

I do have a mountain bike its a top of the line bike. We don't have trails where we are located its mainly city streets

[@SKBKER]

Someone should drive over you tbh .
