On that topic, the other week I got to see close-up the potential for serious injury/death due to undertaking large vehicles from a different perspective. We were on a bus sat at traffic-lights as a rider came up the inside, only to find their gamble fail as the lights turned to green and the gap closed suddenly as the bus moved off.
It was a real 'look away' moment - highly unpleasant, but a potent reminder of the obvious risk. Nobody was injured, although the driver was shaken-up - it was a useful exercise though, if I can call it that.
