A lorry driver and a cyclist had a standoff on a narrow country lane, with both stuck and a disagreement starting. The driver, who didn’t want to be named, recorded the clash in Hampshire.
The video shows the lorry driver asking the cyclist to go back to a wider spot because it’s hard to reverse a big 60ft lorry. The cyclist says no and thinks big lorries shouldn’t be on small lanes.
The lorry driver says: “You think it’s easier for me to reverse? I’m 60ft long and the same width as this road.” And “As you can see by the fact that I’m in the hedge both sides.”
The cyclist asks why she should move and says the lorry “shouldn’t be down here anyway.” But in the end, the cyclist moved so the lorry could pass.
The TikTok video has got people talking, with some arguing the lorry is wrong.
One social media user said: “The cyclist has right of way, sorry I am a class one driver too.”
Another said: “You shouldn’t be driving down a narrow country road in a 60ft lorry, simple.”
But some think the cyclist should have just moved.
Someone wrote: “I’m shocked people are saying the lorry shouldn’t be there.”
Another person commented: “People forget, the driver doesn’t pick the destination and therefore has no choice in access route.”
