I remember seeing a news report about a cyclist who had been killed when a HGV driver didn't look before turning left and smashed into a bicycle, dragging them several metres down the road. The solution? A sign saying "beware of HGVs turning left." That kinda sums it up. It's not the responsibility of the lorry driver to check his mirrors properly, it's the responsibility of cyclists to not get run over.
Of course, there's another very important reason why cars shouldn't be given priority over cyclists, and that's that nobody wants more cars on the road. Every politician in the country will tell you that they want more people to cycle to work, so any policy on roads and traffic should have cyclists at the centre of their concerns, not as some afterthought, as is usually the case.
But just for clarity, because no matter how many times people are told, some idiot will still come out and say the opposite: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS ROAD TAX!

Hopefully in this instance everyone involved is unharmed z
Can't count the times I've nearly been run over by a cyclist in town, they ride through red lights , ride on feckin pavements blooming nightmare!!
Agreed. Wankers.
They should have test and they should pay road tax and insurance. I know some do but that's choice, should be compulsory. That would drive some of the cunts off the road, or should I say pavement.
I dread Christmas cos another batch of the fuckers get a fucking bike as pressies.
Dont me started on bike lanes, causes hold ups and are a waste of paint.
