It is recognised that many injuries to cyclists are caused by vehicles turning left across the cyclists' path. I have written to the Minister of Transport and basically got the answer "cyclists have to take care of themselves" and "shouldn't ride between the curb and long vehicles". How you stop a long vehicle overtaking you I don't know. Similarly should we always wait behind a long vehicle if it isn't indicating left?
I am less than pleased with this answer and so have created a new petition. I hope you agree with me and will sign the petition.
Roy Bradshaw
