@JDB - bit of a yes/no post^
I saw a car mounted on the concrete divide on Southwark bridge road the other day literally with the underside on top of the barrier with no wheels touching the ground.
There are some really shit drivers in London.
Unfortunately loads of people share the same rat run to work with cars.
Safer cycling is to do with an attitude to not getting yourself hurt and putting your self in harms way... you do not need a flag or be able to hear to do this.
I have recently changed my commute from down kingsland road to the dedicated cycle way through de beauvoir road... it is 170% safer, it is about 108% quicker, 105% longer and about 180% nicer. As a cyclist you can avoid the peak times really easily.
