"I was just on my way home from work as a London bus driver so I know how much room you need to give a cyclist to pass.

"The oncoming car was sounding its horn and flashing its lights so the lorry pulled back and narrowly missed that head on.

"I heard it revving its engine again so I gestured for it to stay back because I could see the oncoming traffic, but it overtook me regardless.

"As it moved back over to the left it knocked me off my bike. I honestly thought I was going to die."

Essex Police got the licence plate of the lorry and passed it on to Kent Police who pulled the Romanian driver over.

According to Sherry: "The police didn't ask the right questions and he can't be interviewed again for the same crime now so they've made a farce of it.

“Luckily they managed to identify him before he got to the port at Dover. He told police he didn't see me and left the country. These foreign drivers can get away with murder."
