Why should vehicles that are a danger to other road users (pedestrians as
well as cyclists) be allowed on roads where they are found? Any vehicle
whose driver can't see its near side is in that category.
Pedestrians shouldn't be on the road in the first place, just like
cyclists shouldn't be on the pavement. Cyclists should know when they
are in the blind spot of a large vehicle, if the don't then the road is
not the place to be, hence they need to be trained. Anyway, what
counts is safety and if a question exists about your safety on a bike
then your obvious place is behind where you can't be crushed between
rear wheels and a guard rail.
