I can't say this gets my goat. If I see a truck close to the white line, I ride in the gutter and kiss the hedgerow. I like my legs. I can't imagine a scenario where a truck takes me by surprise when I'm on the outside of the lane and hacks my leg off.
Don't know about your situation Cymraeg_Atodeg, but I'm sure the driver who hit you was unreasonable if he got you when you were in the centre. I could imagine a scenario where I'm passing a truck in the centre of my lane, and he suddenly swerves out and hit me. Fair play, definitely his fault then, but I'd have to be a pleb if I was in the outside of the lane passing a truck.
Only exception is when you're waiting to turn into a road. Then you should be able to be on the outside without worrying about getting mown down.
