F*ck me that is scary.
I had a similar but nowhere near as frightening incident with a Royal Mail lorry, which I followed up, although I wasn't hurt. They were pretty good at promising to retrain their driver.Now whenever a lorry begins to overtake I slow right down, brake even, to let it pass as soon as possible. No point in arguing as you have so eloquently described.

(actually well worth watching) -
I work on cycling events as a mobile mechanic for a variety of organisations, and one has a number of signs along the route saying "cyclists ride in single file" "cyclists keep to the left"
I have told the organisers this is poor advice and they should review it, but they haven't. Today on one of the events (a charity bike ride with a lot of inexperienced cyclists) a car tried to overtake cyclists who were riding as the signs recommended. This was on a narrow rural minor road. As there were lots of cyclists he ended up going around a left hand bend with no forward vision at all.
He then hit a car head on, and rolled into one of the cyclists. Fortunately the cyclist was completely unhurt (although the bike was wrecked, as was his shiny new Mini!). Had the cyclists been either in the primary position or two abreast the driver would have had to wait until the road was clear so he could overtake. -

[QUOTE=.. but as scherrit said when Corinne was dismantling my ergo levers to replace the broken springs "fully serviceable is great - but Shimano sti's never need servicing"[/QUOTE]
That is so plain wrong, Shimano STI and Rapidfire units fail all the time and are then useless, and you can only buy them in pairs, (as far as I know, anyway) and they are extremely expensive.
I use both Shimano and Campag, and over the years have come to prefer the Italian stuff for a number of reasons.
