Yet another cyclist seriously injured by a truck
....probably turning left, acording to this report from the Haringey Cyclists
group today: "I passed by the aftermath of this yesterday. It happened at the junction of Green Lanes and Seven Sisters Road [north London], and from the position of the [refuse] truck it looked like it was turning left to head south on Green Lanes. From what I can gather from other commuters I've spoken to and the Hackney LCC group, the cyclist's legs were crushed. She was picked up by the air ambulance, and was alive when put in the helicopter." |

Yet another cyclist seriously injured by a truck
In ,
Pete Biggs tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us: ...probably turning left, acording to this report from the Haringey Cyclists group today: Ouch! I used to commute that way before the Evil Squirrels had us sent saarf of the river to enhance Shareholder Value, and there was quite frequently complete chaos at that junction. Most notably when a moton failed to execute an undertake on a Turkish-registered artic. /Not/ a pretty sight. -- Dave Larrington http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk Beware of the opion. |

This is miserable, truly horrible.
Just try to imagine if it were you / your spouse there today. The pain, the possible lifelong injury. Bloody hell - why on earth can't these stupid *******s look in mirrors? And don't even try to troll this post anyone.

The mirrors would be positioned to look behind, so if the driver does not see you actually come up the inside you're in trouble. Never _ever_ venture up the inside of a large vehicle at the front of a queue for traffic lights. pete |

I was out on Friday lunchtime in Swindon when an out-of-service bus roars past me faaaar too close to my right ear, at between 35 and 40pmh. I caught him up at the next roundabout, considered going up beside him and remonstrating. Thought better of it, which was just as well as he turned left with no signal. Fortunately I had plenty of time to see and memorise number. Complaint made. Outcome awaited. Peter. |
