Re: Another cyclist killed in London
Lets put it this way. Many years ago I used to drive in Central London, and in the City
Now l drive to work and then cycle in my job. Its ok for people to say that cyclist need educating, like l have said many times before.
But Lorries have large signs now on the rear of Lorries WARNING cyclist NOT to pass on the 'blind side' BUT now they have so much to prevent cyclist or even pedestrian accidents.
However, troo many times you will get drivers who will just drive on or turn left or right without realising there is a cyclist there.
WHY, because most of the cyclist that l have seen do not have HI VIS and therefore cannot be seen.
With cyclist, day or night they should wear Hi Vis and have LIGHTS on working at all times, so they can be seen
The only thing l can think on lorries - is have sensors that detect, if there is ANYTHING within so many inches from there lorry, such as human.
I am sadden that someone has died on our roads yet again. But l believe that before Cycle leaves a shop, they should have to pass a test, before hitting the road - like drivers do. and get a Cycle Test.
