The War on Britain's Roads (BBC Documentary / tabloid tv)

It would be fantastic if they address the serious issue of cycle lane like this;

Or the blindspot of the HGV is coincidentally exactly the same shape as an ASL;

Why is everyone avoiding this?
Hi, just catching up on this thread from abroad. Ed is wrong about this.
The black area around the Keltbay lorry is not the blind spot. That is the area which a driver MUST be able to see in the mirrors of a lorry registered after 2006. Older lorries that don't have to have the forward facing mirror will only show the area to the left of the lorry.
The real blind spot is the area further to the left, say 1.8 to 4 metres out where a driver can't see a thing. That's where people often get hit. There is a serious problem with the false view of the blindspot. I would say that any cyclist hit in the area shown in black (~= ASL) should have been seen by the driver. The crap propaganda from TfL has re-inforced some of the confusion over this. Prosecutors and courts fail to understand the rules and often tend to blame the cyclists.
Having had that rant I don't criticise the changing places police shows that warn cyclists away from the black area, it makes good sense because we cannot trust the driver to be keeping a good lookout and cyclists still get hit in this area, as on thursday.
