Another London cyclist tipper truck incident this evening

RIP...

..I really wish the authorities would release details of the causality of these kinds of incidents every few months so that it would put the "undertakers" myth to rest.

Grim, poor chap who didn't get home after work on a Friday.

How cavalier and cruel does a 'newspaper' have to get in order to dredge up readership? Is this something 'cool' for a journo to pen?

The Hackney Hive is not a newspaper, not even close, and the posters are locals, not journalists. It's little different from the blog entries on a forum like this.

It's probably just me going blind but I didn't see a link to the campaign on the road.cc site. If anybody else has difficulty finding it, it's here...

there's an incredibly moving thread on LFGSS about Dan, he was a well-loved bloke:

Lovely pictures on the Standard site of him, seemed like a great guy.
Tragic.

Anyone signed up the ES website want to report the inevitable and horrendously tactless comments in that article?

Reading or distributing that won't do anyone any good. It's better if everyone pays their respects in their own way and there is a sustained effort to raise awareness/lessen the dangers of HGVs.

Let's see what happens, often it gets this far and the driver is ultimately let off with a slap on the wrist.
