Pip, this is simply not true. A lot of HGV drivers are very poorly trained. We have long been calling for better driver training, as well as cycle training for all HGV drivers so that they understand the risks better.
Of course you're right that many cyclists need better training, too, but let's not imply that they are solely responsible for lack of understanding that different road users have for the requirements of others.
