Almost brand new lorry, in a convoy of two, in City of London, immaculate grey/silver things. Spotlessly clean. No livery. Weird.

Quite likely it was white when it left the factory and was getting painted to have liveries.

He doesn't know the law either, it's not a bad piece apart from the misuse of statistics to blame cyclists for filtering, which he reckons is against the rules.

Nah, he's basically saying that contrary to popular belief cyclists often do have insurance so don't be afraid to gather evidence and call him to make a claim if some dickhead damages your lorry with their pushbike because they were not wearing hi viz when you drove over them.

Cyclists create specific hazards and drivers shouldn’t be afraid to point out the risk presented by a cyclist with whom a collision has occurred
Oh yeah.

It's only fair - I mean, how else do you get your money back from a dead body?

Brilliant, my employers use weightmans solicitors, I'll be doing my best to bad month them in general from now on.

lots of classic references to the car losing control (no driver involvement as ever)

I through only cyclists could case this kind of CARnage on the pavement.

It's ok people, the occupants of the car have been able to collect their belongings, heaven forbid that their day should be any further inconvinced.
Mark's just given us an update from the scene, where he has just seen an elderly couple return to what would appear to be their stricken Volkswagen Golf to collect their belongings.
Just had to report a lorry:
"I was cycling in the same direction (west) as the lorry and stopped at the ASL for a red light. The lorry was slowly edging forward into it, so I turned around to look at the driver and check he'd seen me. That's when I noticed he was talking on a mobile phone. I shrugged at him to indicate my displeasure and he opened the window and screamed "F*ck off, pal, f*ck off! In all this? All this traffic? I'm going zero miles an hour." I was quite intimidated by this, as any normal person would be. There were no company details on the lorry so I can't report it to them."
How boring all this is.
