Default Flattened cyclist put herself into danger.

Four passengers in a car behind the truck believed it was clear which
direction it planned to take and were horrified at the danger Ms Tereschenko
was in. "She was cycling into the path of the lorry," said Vasileiou

I cannot believe just how dumb cyclists are, after all the publicity,
signs all over the rear of trucks, extra mirrors mandated they still
ride into danger/death. Darwinism in action I suppose.

I'm glad to read the truck driver was not implicated.

She was riding home at about 4.45pm and had to get off her bike on the
westbound “off” slip road of the A12, pushing it on the pavement to get to
the front of a traffic queue as she tried to access the cycle superhighway to
Bow.
ENDQUOTE

The "A12", used to be a motorway, A102(M), on which, of course, cyclists were
banned. Whoever made the decision to downgrade the motorway into an A road
sentenced that cyclist to death.

When the Mayor of London's post was initiated, the decision was made to
exclude the Mayor from control over motorways. But... not really wanting Mad
Ken not to have control over London's few motorways, the Labour government
cough Prescott re-classified the A40(M), the M41 and the A102(M) as A
roads, thus handing control over them to the arch-loony, Mad Ken himself.
Mercifully, he wasn't given control over the London ends of the M1, M3, M4
and M11.

Wouldn't it have been better for that cyclist and her family if she and other
cyclists had not been allowed on the so-called A12?

He is slipping - he missed three professional athletes killed yesterday.
That could have lasted in his fantasy bank for a whole month.

Accident investigator Pc Christopher Thorne said the truck driver

It seems that Pc Christopher Thorne needs acquainting with Sections
one to three of The Road Traffic Act.

Driving a Large Goods Vehicle in heavy traffic, on the phone, and
failing to indicate at one of the busiest junctions in the UK is
certainly at the very least careless driving, and it is hard to
imagine how it cannot also be dangerous driving.


Yes - something stinks about that case.
The take on road.cc makes very interesting reading - especially the
mother who states that even in her native Ukraine the driver would
have been prosecuted, has our legal system fallen below theirs?

QUOTE:

Speaking afterwards to the Evening Standard's Ross Lydall, Ms
Tereschenko's mother Mariia Vorobei who had travelled from the Ukraine
along her elder daughter Oksana to attend the inquest compared the
approach taken to the incident in this country with what would have
happened in her native Ukraine:

“My daughter was in love with this country. We respect the conditions
of this country.

“But in the Ukraine, a driver would be prosecuted always if there is a
victim. This is a criminal case. We are shocked.

“How is it possible that everybody else could see the cyclist but not
him? What if it was a little child? He was not concentrating on the
road. That is why he didn’t see her.”

We are absolutely shocked that he failed to offer any sort of
apology.”

Mrs Vorobei said she was also upset to see that a ghost bike left by
the side of the roundabout in her daughter's memory had been
vandalised and appealed for help in replacing it.
