The survey is extremely dodgy and is full of victim-blaming.
The only scenario painted is one where the cyclist places themselves in harm's way.
The whole "blind spot" excuse shouldn't be accepted, it's often a legal ploy. If a driver admits he was unable to see around the vehicle because he hasn't fitted mirrors that cost £30 then the driver ought to be held culpable if they're involved in a death.
