Who's in the wrong? Standoff between lorry driver and cyclist as they come face-to-face down country lane

A lorry driver and a cyclist came face-to-face down a country lane with neither unable to go through - and a row breaking out.
The motorist who wished to remain anonymous filmed the footage of her coming to loggerheads with a cyclist in Hampshire.
The video shows the lorry driver asking the cyclist to reverse and "go back to the wide bit" as it would be easier than reversing a 60ft-long lorry.
The cyclist refuses and insists that lorries shouldn't be using country lanes.
The lorry driver can be heard saying: "You think it's easier for me to reverse? I'm 60ft long and the same width as this road.
"As you can see by the fact that I'm in the hedge both sides."
The cyclist responds by asking why should she be the one to go back before adding that the driver "shouldn't be down here anyway."
The lady on the pushbike eventually went back to allow the lorry to drive through.
Since being posted on TikTok, the video has provoked debate with some people saying the lorry is in the wrong.
One comment said: "The cyclist has right of way, sorry I am a class one driver too"
Another read: "You shouldn't be driving down a narrow country road in a 60ft lorry, simple."
However, others believed the cyclist should have simply reversed.
One person wrote: "I'm shocked people are saying the lorry shouldn't be there."
Another said: "People forget, the driver doesn't pick the destination and therefore has no choice in access route."
