• What is a lorry?

    Google images brings up a HGV articulated vehicle.

    Now which vehicles are the problem?

    Why no inclusion of buses and coaches?

    If you (any cycling organisation) want to make a difference actually deal with the problem area, using the correct language if you want to organise a change.
    We use 'lorry' because it is recognised in British english as a term covering most large freight vehicles. We foreigners might prefer 'truck' but that has several meanings in British english. HGV is an alternative term but its use can get very confused with legal definitions and the EU preference for LGV - which is also ambiguous in english.
    Some people get turned on by alliteration:

    We also campaign for safer buses but the issues are a little different. London bus drivers already get cyclist awareness training which we helped organize a few years ago, some of them are beginning to get on-bike training too. Bus drivers generally have better visibility and buses are generally less lethal.
