flame away.
Accidents happen, and im certainly in favour of altering driver training/cab design if it would minimize the risk of cyclist/HGV collisions. (which i believe it would - something does need to be done) However, the assumption that it was due to driver negligence and the verdict isnt "what you wanted" does annoy me. The fact of the matter is, he could very well have been negligent, but i dont think we are at liberty to assume that all deaths of this kind are down to that.
