Although its sad to hear about these cases, that are all too common.
1 simple rule you should follow. Dont play games with HGVs, if you are not sure you can pass it, DONT! wait until you can safely pass. And dont ride alongside them either. We see it all too often, a cyclist pedalling alongside a bus or HGV then it turns left and they end up getting caught in a very tight spot, unfortunately for some that spot is too small to escape and an accident occurs.
