Lorry again. Someone, somewhere must be getting the point. BoJo needs a kick over this.

assuming the truck was turning left, that's a regular crossroads, smacks of the truck being at fault to me

Sounds horrific, only up the road from my regular commute. All the driver has to say is "She was in my blind spot" and he'll get away with it anyway, regardless of blame.
That said, I witnessed some horribly close calls this evening, caused by impatient riders desperate to save 30 seconds (overtaking buses on a blind bend near L'pool street station, narrowly avoiding oncoming buses)

RIP.

Note to self must stop reading these, so ****in depressing, and I can't help but let it play on my mind when I am in amongst all these tossers in a rush to get somewhere that they are prepared to take a risk with a Cyclists life :sad:

no need for speculation?

but one for endless RIPs?

anyway if a bike runs up the inside of a truck s it slows to turn left, it's not really the trucks fault is it, of course they should check their inside but they'll have a lot more to check than that, I find peds hard work, I imagine them and bikes are a serious pain for truck drivers

That Waltham Forest fella's remit seems to be rather extensive, I used to ride right down down Camden Road from end to end on a commute and don't remember it as being any unusual as regards danger, it's long and straight, cyclists that can;t deal safely with a lane that is both straight and left shouldn't ride I'm afraid

I don't like them and have a few fast ones on my ride home, you've simply got to take a more primary line and/or signal the fact that you're not turning

Yes cyclists are vulnerable and need consideration but at the same time cyclists have a responsibility to ride competently if they're going to ride in urban traffic, I see riders every single day that survive their journeys entirely due to the care and consideration of other road users

none of the above to the person killed in this inceident before anyone gets upset
