Bloody cretin, needs to be found and fined maybe that'll make him (presuming its a guy) think twice before doing it again.

Driving on the right side of the road may give a hint
Might be elsewhere

 With the idiotic way he is acting he may well be driving on wrong side and using the camera himself.

He needs to be booked for atmospheric pollution even if the cyclists weren't there.

None of those cyclists were doing anything wrong. I object when they ride 2 abreast - I was once a very keen cyclist and never rode double unless there was no traffic around. Particularly when there is a double line, 2 abreast cyclists are a complete traffic jam. These guys were doing nothing other than coughing up large lumps of soot after this clown passed them.

Very instructive to read the comments on the original video clip - there are a lot of really angry people out there.

Ok w
I was gonna just leave this but sure it's not very nice what he has don but we don't know what may have provoked him to do this and I am not condoning it by any means but clearly this was in a left hand drive country as in Australia truck exhausts are not allowed to exit on the street Side they must be vertical or at the rear or the right hand side ie middle of the road to the best of my knowledge and a truck putting that much smoke put in oz would soo be put off the road in any case

Looks to me as he's on a steep climb. Of course all you don't look behind your diesels when towing and climbing. I've seen enough vans and the old motorhomes pump out as much here.

A truckies gotta' do what a truckies gotta' do. laughing.giflaughing.gif We live in a Melbourne Bayside suburb that's incredibly popular with cyclists, quite a few aggressive ones among their ranks.

He was laboring the engine so as to get excessive smoke.

At least it wasn't in Australia. I wonder how many times a truckie has been slowed down on the flat by a group of cyclists riding up to 4 a breast.
Not that I think what he is doing is a good thing.

Right hand side of the road. Side exhaust !!?? 99 percent of heavy and even light transports have their exhaust "stacked", like my Mazda m/home.
