No, I am serious. I have already said what I think is wrong the spoke-card thing. I started this journey by calling for a HGV ban, not by distributing leaflets to cyclists which implicit blame dead people for their own deaths.
Sorry Bill, don't see it like this at all. Nothing/nobody is blaming dead people for their own deaths, what we are trying to do is raise awareness and get cyclists to take more responsibility for themselves when on the road. It's absolutely not about who is right or who is wrong.
I vividly remember being at the scene of a fatality involving a lorry and a young female cyclist. Everyone got hurt. I've never seen a hard-as-nails looking bloke (he was your classic truck driving cliche) weep and shake so openly and so profusely as what had happened sank in.
