My workplace is on the same salubrious industrial estate as a removal company. I've just been out on a visit and when I came back one of their lorries was behind me and thought it would be a good idea to overtake me in the few yards between the railway bridge and our turn-in, and then straight away turn left into our turn-in. Except he decided to stop half way through the manoeuvre to let another lorry out and then set off again once that lorry had gone to complete his left turn. Luckily I had had the sense to stay well back but I still got a bit of a fright. So my dilemma is, do I phone and speak to them about it because I don't want him to do it again, or do I not phone and speak to them about it - because I don't want him to do it again?
They're usually pretty good - this is the only incident I've had with one of their lorries in two and a half years - so I don't want to antagonise them into viewing me as a target, but on the other hand, it was an unnecessary overtake which could have been nasty for a less experienced cyclist. Obviously because I know where they're based, I assumed his left indicator was telling me he was going to turn in, but someone who doesn't know where they're based might have thought he was just indicating he was pulling in after his overtake.
