looking probably wouldn't help me much unless google managed to catch a lorry/bus on the road at the time.
I mean I'd not be parallel to the middle of a non articulated long vehicle for that for any length of time, not near corners. I'd generally either hang back just behind it so i could slow if needed or dart by quickly if i thought it wasn't going to be coming over my lane before I got though. I'd actually take more of a risk on a bike as I need less room and have more maneuverability.
Bear in mind the only 4 wheeled vehicle I drive is a van so i have to be more careful since the width of roads like that means I take up quite a lot of the lane myself and cant change a maneuver so quickly. Eitehr way I'd have been fully expecting to lose some of my lane there, although maybe not quite as much as you actually did.
