OK enough of the devils advocate stuff and the name calling :roll:
The reason this is so hugely emotive (for me anyway) is that this accident plays to my worst fears - I'm pretty sure like most of you that basic roadcraft means I'm not going to become a statistic filtering up the left of a tipper lorry but when I kiss my kids cheerio and head off into the Scottish countryside making jokes about not wanting to end my days in a rest home (they read the news too) - being cleaned out from behind whilst spinning happily along a straight road is the one nightmares are made of.

Sad news and frightening to a new road rider.
How many people ride with lights on in daylight?0 -

Or bad / dangerous cycling - we simply dont know. There's 1001 reasons why this may have happened from the van driver deliberately mowing him down to the cyclist wearing headphones and having swerved into the middle of the lane right into the path of the van giving him loads of space. Even a court may not get to the truth unfortunately0 -
We are having heaps of issues with motorists and cyclists colliding in Australia. Police believe a lot can be attributed to drivers distracted with their phones texting, talking etc.
two major incidents in the Sydney area in the last month with bunch riders being hit. How can a driver not see six cyclist riding together??0 -

Very sorry to hear about this. So many cyclists out on the roads in Scotland yesterday and its shocking how at risk we still seem to be.0
