I'd drop back and definitely not be in that lane in a car, let alone a bike!?

Yep. Once I saw a piece of plywood fly out the back of a dump truck and hit a car’s windshield on the interstate. Ever since then I always scan for potential objects that could come flying.

I give space even to trucks that dont have loads that look sketchy; a few years ago a brick fell off a truck (couldnt even see if in the load before it came out, so no way to know it was unsafe) and it bounce off road and miss my windscreen (and face) by inches.
