• Compare the appalling record that the road freight industry has compared with buses and bus drivers similar training, but HGVs have been involved in 53 per cent of London cyclist deaths in the last four years, while accounting for only four per cent of traffic.

    So, are cyclists taking more risks around lorries than buses, or does something else suggest itself?

    We've been here before; look at the height of the driver's eye line in an HGV compared with a bus. whether a bus driver is looking 2 yards ahead or 200, any cyclist inside that zone would have to be transparent to be missed. A lorry driver looking forward can easily have a score of cyclists in his zone of inattention. Same goes for every other direction; you don't have to be that close to a lorry to be under the radar.

    Can't remember which article it was, but I noticed the other day that somebody else had finally noticed this.
