Will pass this link on to others in the cycling e-mail list where I work. The more data that is gathered, the better. Interesting to read the comments regarding lorries. Kind of reminds me of the advice I was given when doing my rail safety training - 'Doesnt matter what they are doing - stay the fuck away from trains'. The bloke running the course reckoned that it was familiarity over time that was the killer, people who spend a lot of time around them kind of lost 'the fear' and took chances.
I would rather wait a minute or two at a good distance, as I cant tell that the HGV in front is the one with the left hand drive, crap mirrors and a driver who has a high fatigue level, watching his laptop porn and murdering prostitutes while attempting to negotiate busy city centre traffic.
Guess I am lucky riding in a city that doesnt have many HGV's operating in it.
