since the pic. was posted on the loal web site this particular beast only roams the street in the dead of night, i encounted it the other morning @ 0400 on my way home from work , it was on the wrong side of the road, belching smoke &blowing more dust out than it was picking up, when i came round the corner there it was coming towards me !! it was almost like it had been waiting for me to be fair to our local council , they have done a lot of roading upgrades lately most of wich are cycle friendly. there iv,e said it now stop that truck stalking me
