Recent HGV/cyclist accidents

All well and good in theory but I regularly drive round the E&C roundabout and you need eyes everywhere, in part for the shear volume of traffic using the roundabout but also to account for a lot of poor lane discipline by other road users. To expect truck drivers to keep a 100% lookout on all 4 corners of their vehicles whilst negotiating complex junctions like this is impossible.

drive or ride?? many drivers sail round in their boxes cushioned in metal security, i lived in e&c for a year so know the place well.

we're back to the dual responsibility thing, 'accidents' are caused and generally its 50/50 both parties. so, we have a duty as riders to ride well, and fast, and with top notch awareness.

most, probably all, adults would benefit from training/reading Franklin which seems something to aspire to achieving.

way that law is letting drivers get away with fines/bans for a life is the major problem in all this--massively needs changing.
