The way cycling deaths are treated by police and prosecutors may need to
change, the former Director of Public Prosecutions has said.

Last year a Freedom of Information request by BBC's Newsbeat found that
between 2007 and 2014 there were 276 recorded incidents where a cyclist
was killed in an accident involving a motor vehicle.
Of these, 148 - 54% - resulted in the driver of the vehicle being
charged with an offence. Of those found guilty, fewer than half went to
prison.

Why need anything "change"?

276/7 = 39 (rounded).

Less than one per week.

A significant proportion of those seem to occur in circumstances where
the cyclist is attempting to undertake a large vehicle (bus, lorry)
which is turning left.

You say the lorry- or bus-driver should go to jail anyway, do you?
