3 Clowns risk their lives by tailgating a freight truck on West Coast Highway to gain 'enhanced aerodynamics'
Cyclists are a menace on our roads and will continue to be one. Nuff said.
It is almost impossible for cyclists and motorists to co-exist and share our roads safely.
Here's why:
What Happened?
3 Clowns clad in their spandex cycling attire decided to tailgate and draft behind a freight truck to reduce their drag and achieve enhanced aerodynamics on West Coast Highway.
Yes, you read that right - BEHIND A FREIGHT TRUCK.
And not that it changes anything, but the three cyclists were cycling in lane two instead of keeping to the left-most lane LOL.
To be frank, it doesn't seem very dangerous...until the truck has to perform an e-brake for some reason.
That's when matters will take a turn for the worse.
There is an exceptionally high chance that the cyclists would rear-end the truck, either because of:
1) their inability to react in time due to the mere 1-second distance away from the truck; and/or
2) the bicycle's braking capability.
