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.
Tell that to the pedestrian on the pavement when a Tesco lorry turning a
corner in Cambridge killed him, then!
And the connection with cycling is?
