Default Cycle box death judge gets it right for once

"Barry Northcott, 40, caused fatal and 'catastrophic injuries' to Karla
Roman when he turned left into the 32-year-old in Whitechapel, east
London, after *failing to spot her in his mirrors*."

"Prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu told the trial that Ms Roman had been ahead
of Northcott and within view for some 16 seconds before the crash on
February 6 last year."

So the victim was there first. It can't be the only time a driver has
been at fault. This one can be kept in the archives for the next time
someone claims "it is because cyclists overtake on the left"
