Anti-bike signs on Bendibuses

No. A vehicle should never impinge on an area of road where is

but an indication of inadequate mirrors.

Right.

But if the vehicle is in the throes of overtaking the cyclists at
the time, the field of view of the mirrors is irrelevant, because
the bloody driver should KNOW that he's overtaking the cyclists,
because he's just seen them through the windscreen...

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

Absolutely. As I've said all along.

So - as I said, and you disagreed - the mirrors are irrelevant in
that situation, because the driver's a blind gormless ****.

And - since nobody in their right mind would cycle up the left of a
bus/large vehicle which is waiting to turn left - the mirrors are
irrelevant there, too.

So what the hell did your rant about mirrors got to do with the price
of fish?

The evidence is that they didn't see the cyclists because the driving
position and mirrors provided made it impossible to do so. The fact that
they were there is evidence enough that they should have seen them,
however much you may say otherwise. If that is your attitude to other
road users you should not be driving.
