You must have your special glasses on again. Where does it say "up the
inside of a lorry at a junction?"

What it actually says is "Witnesses said he was hit by a left turning
lorry ending with his bike going under the lorry."

Nothing about him going up the inside of a lorry. How do you know he
did?

Try checking what you write is supported by the links you post, or you
just look stupid (again).

both vehicles turned left out of a junction, I expect the lorry crept up
beside the cyclist using a cloaking device and then ran the cyclist over, or
perhaps the cyclist went up the inside of the lorry, which is more likely?

Maybe you'd like to pop along to the inquest, and report back to us.

Dunno which is most likely, but it's also possible that the lorry
simply overtook the cyclist and pulled in 'cos it hadn't fully
overtaken ...

There is absolutely no evidence of either scenario being more or less
likely than the other and for you to speculate just means you're
(again) using some poor buggers death to try and score miniscule points.

last I heard he was recovering, do you know different.?

even if the lorry came up and overtook him right at the junction the cyclist
could have slowed to let him complete his manouevre as advised in the
highway code, you know, that book that cyclists do not bother to read and
follow.

Obviously the cloaking device. Cyclists are never at fault.
