I don't think it's true at all. It's a total cop out.
Many of these deaths have been caused by drivers who cannot see cyclists due to the height of their cabs and a lack of mirrors. If Coroners addressed inferior lorry design in inquests we'd all be much better off - hauliers and cyclists alike. Lorry firms can help look after us by setting a deadline to remedy their fleets. Even a token gesture of 10yrs would help.
Cyclist shouldn't have to sit back and accept that it's our sole responsibilty.
