    Right on the way to work this morning

    and as 1 was cross the A37 from the lights

    I lifted the front wheel (as you do)

    anyway after putting the front wheel back down a couple of hundred yards later

    A truck going the other way starts flashing its lights at me

    So i think either warning me about police or having a go for pulling a wheelie


    Well as i got closer to the truck - he is stood up in the cab clapping and giving me the thumbs up !!!

    so not all artic drivers are bad

    Now I don't want to alarm anyone here:rolleyes:
    But remembering a little story I heard last year from a man in the know, police were after using LGV PCV vehicles as a way to target poor driving, CCTV was to be fitted inside the cabs to record other road users behaviour.
    Then in november they started this off for a start by giving crossing patrol outside schools etc cameras fitted to clothing to capture images of drivers being naughty ;)
    See here.
    Lollipop men and women given hidden cameras to catch bad drivers - Telegraph

    I shit you not,
    Insurance companies for a start are loving it, search for mobile vehicle recording.
    See who's having them fitted and why and what the images that are being captured are used for.

    But like you say the driver gave you the thumbs up:)










    Or was he making sure the CCTV was running :eek:;)
