In the news

I may be wrong but it seems that the ASL was filled up with cars and whatnot which is why she was was forced into a position where the truck could not see her

CCTV footage shown to the court revealed how a bus and a minicab had stopped in the green “advanced stopped zone” box reserved for cyclists to give them a head-start at the traffic lights, while a report by the Met Police's road accident investigation unit found that Mr Gibbs could not have expected to see Ms Lee because she was so close to the front of the lorry at the lights.

If she had filtered to in front of the lorry, it is understandable that the truck driver did not see her, I too would be incredibly pissed at the whole situation. If the drivers of the vehicles actually believed that stopping in the ASL was a bad thing and they would be fined maybe it would have been clear and the poor young lady would have been visible to the truck driver. It's another example of poor driver education and also poor road planning for cyclists.
