A mate who drives a lorry just sent this picture of a guy hanging onto the back of his truck while he was doing 40mph near Oakham.

Why was he taking pictures whilst driving? 😈
STRAAAAAAAVVVVVAAAAAA!!!!
No, that would mean going "dahn sarf wunnit?". Don't want to be doing that!
Lazy bastard! whack it in the big dog and you'd be able to draft at that speed
Why was he taking pictures whilst driving
Not being there myself I can only assume his mate took the photo and forwarded it to him.....
Brake check time?
Looks like he knows what he is doing, if he is an Adult and dosent make a mess on the road when it goes wrong, Id say thats fine then.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying anyone is right or wrong. I just though the pic was midly ammusing in a lazy bastard/ooh that could hurt kind of way.
New KOM !
I have done this before... but not at that speed, only uphill 🙂
I have also gone over the bars when the chain slipped whilst sprinting alongside a truck to do this... I didn't try it again.

I reckon that’s a ‘dashcam’/cctv still
+1 looks like he's pulled over, rewound the footage then taken a picture of the relevant muppet.
We need to know where it is and when so we can flag his ride!
Yeah, pretty obvious as it’s the dashcam in the pic (wasn’t obvious on my phone screen). Anyway, jumping to conclusions and slagging the bloke for taking a photo on the move is weird when you don’t actually know if it’s true! Weirdos.

If it’s recorded and can be played back later then why did he only take a pic of it? If I’d been in the truck looking at recorded footage then I would have filmed the footage from when the bike latched on and sent that out. Be interesting to see when he did it, how long he was on, etc. If I’d been driving then I would have taken a picture...
Bar tape looks a bit untidy.
It's Marty McFly. Now I have Huey Lewis in my head for the rest of the day.
I've done that before but at lower speeds and significantly lower age.
Marty, Marty....you're dead McFly...!
Of course the pic could be taken when the trucks not moving and the rider didnt want to unclip couldnt it?
Bit old now to catch the damn things in the first place but years, and I mean years ago, I was a cycle courier and we all did this as much as possible.
Drive hgv for a living if somone did this to me would just keep good speed and give him a lift I remember doing this on roller blades as a kid 😁
Also that is a reversing cam most of them don't record thay are just one so u can see your ass
grab hold of an electric milk float once going up hill he zig zagged across the road trying to get me off 🙂
Got stuck behind a Focus B-Max in a 30 zone once, damn thing wouldn't accelerate as there are cameras all over it, missed the KOM by about 10 seconds on a 1km long section 🙁
That's nothing
