Hey cyclists, be sure to wear HiViz and a fucking polystyrene hat.
COURT RESULT - This dash cam footage shows a serious injury RTC from December last year. The driver of this HGV didn’t notice stationary traffic and collided into it. Driver has been sentenced at Court and handed a suspended prison sentence, disqualification and must retake test.

"Then cyclists appear from nowhere" This isn't a magic show, just someone driving too fast for the distance they can see. It could just as easily have been a pedestrian, or a branch from a tree without lights. But, the cyclist didn't have a light, so driving too fast is excused.
Out and about on a late shift and the scariest part of the shift was just driving home!!
