I like Tommy's analogy of carrying a heavy box through a school corridor. It sometimes shocks me that people think that getting past the lorry, at all costs, is 'the point'. If you're in a hurry, you should have left more time for your journey. Don't be so selfish. Your commute is not and should not be seen as a great chance to workout to supplement your training schedule. End of.
I think its a great shame that the coroner would not adjourn to allow evidence of bad road layouts to be looked at. Then at least Eilidh's tragic death may have helped have an effect on how planners see things like road-narrowings, and what dangers they pose to all road users, particularly the vulnerable.
