incredible actions by the cyclist. how she can have had the presence of mind to do that, maybe clarity brought about by the need to survive.
it's not the length of the vehicle in this case - it's the scale of the cab relative to 'normal' vehicles, the way the windscreen is so much higher than a bike or car or person.
I agree also that the drivers reactions should not be over-interpreted - I was in a bus that was involved in an accident and the driver wouldn't go anywhere near the guy that was hit, she was partly in shock, and panicked about her job and liability etc. also I think terrified of what might have been. it wasn't because of meh.
