BBC article on cycling accidents

just to add the that, the lorry that hit me had no operator license and 3 tacho offences.

still hasn't gone to court a year later. the defence keep stalling....

It's time to acknowledge how completely nuts it is to have huge machinery lumbering round narrow streets and posing a disproportionate danger to vulnerable road users.

It is time to point out that the beeb article, complete with the drawings of the "kill a cyclist and get away with it if you say they were in these shaded areas", is misdirection.

People ought to be allowed to make mistakes and not die or be crippled, that's what the aim should be- a town where the most dangerous vehicles are perpetually aware of their lethal potentiality and the drivers behave accordingly.
