Just spotted this disturbing news story on Channel 4 News from a week ago showing a rise in fatal cyclist accidents:

Interestingly they said a major factor is accidents involving cyclists over taking lorries. How many do that on the forum? I never over take lorries or buses myself. I'd sooner either wait a safe distance behind for them to move or I get off the road and onto the foot path if it's possible.
Apologies if the story has already been discussed, I've been out of the loop!
