I wonder how many cyclists would ignore this sign

I've seen various different versions of the same thing, but I think some cyclists wouldn't understand what the message is that it is trying to get across.
With any luck they might ask someone.

I reckon the driver is a cyclist himself, hence his warning. Good sign though.

Brilliant, and I wouldn't mess with the driver who wrote it as they must be really tall.
i came across an HGV with a cyclist safety sign on the back t'other evening yet still ended up being sandwiched between HGV and kerb having to mount the pavement to avoidan accident
Sign - good idea
Overtaking a cyclist at crossing point with a central island and nowhere for the cyclist to go bad idea

Best bet is to stay behind if they are about to move or if they are in the usual gridlock then the centre line is my new cycle path

And if there is a designated cycle lane down the left hand side of the road? What then?

If that vehicle poses such a danger to other road users perhaps it shouldnt be on the road.

I was in a car behind a lorry and saw it squeezing past a cyclist at a central island, why he couldn't have waited 10 seconds more I don't know.

I think you raised a good point in your first post in this thread, many cyclists just do not appreciate the danger posed by lorries.
Until I joined this site and found out about cyclecraft, I was completely oblivious to the fact that lorries had blind spots at the side and in front and would very happily ride up a bike path on the inside to get into the advanced stop box.
Now I'm aware, I avoid these area's like the plague. If I'm in an advance stop box and a HGV pulls up behind me I move forward and try my hardest to make eye contact with the driver.
The onus for responsibility for the danger presented by these vehicles needs to be with the driver of the vehicle. I'm told that additional mirrors and cctv can eliminate blind spots, if this is the case I can't see why these aren't mandatory. If it isn't I can't see why we accept these vehicles are on our roads in urban areas. It isn't necesserry. They should be removed and allowed in urban areas only in exceptional circumstances with a lisence granted in advance of every individual circumstance.
