More on stats. I am not convinced that analysing killed is the way forward. The numbers are so low as to be statistically insignificant, plus the key witness is not able to give their own account.
I think a more fruitful approach would be to look at KSI. Much bigger numbers.
Interestingly, stats from the MET Motorcycle Tasking Team show that around half of all KSI for P2W (powered 2 wheel) in London involve a vehicle turning right across the path of the rider.
This suggests that even changing cyclist behaviour, in terms of which side to pass LGVs and other vehicles, may not solve the problem entirely without changing driver behaviour as well.
I'm trying to pull together lots of information that I hope to post up on the seemesaveme wiki shortly.
