HGVs/lorries/cyclists: Inquest into death of Meryem Ozekman

That's precisely from the moments that are missing from the evidence. None of the witnesses are clear, no camera footage of the incident was available, and the evidence is completely insufficient to draw conclusions. (I include in this that I find the inquest's conclusion unwarranted as it stands, at least based on how the evidence is presented in Barry's transcript.)

Camera footage would have shown the exact order of events (IF it was correctly positioned but this isn't ever going to happen)
Would that have helped lay blame? If the nature of the junction meant the driver couldn't see directly behind him due to the road sweep, he clearly stated the movement of all the vehicles on the road ahead; the road he was pulling into

A glance in all the mirrors, a second check ahead and then the brief second he pulled away and that’s it; he has killed someone!
What did he do wrong? From the time he glanced in his side mirror, checked his drivers mirror and looked ahead to pull away a cyclist could have started to move up the inside into a dangerous position.

Yes. It's simply not possible to keep an eye on all of them as well as the road ahead.

There was no record of him being a dangerous driver, his history was clean and his lorry was all in order with all correct legally required security fittings.

I find the debate - Did she fall OR was she pulled struck, a moot one.
It is a terrible accident, the inside of an articulated lorry, on a junction, as its pulling away is the most dangerous place on the road. When I am on the pavement I take a step back as they pass.
You get yourself in that position no a bike and it's an insufficient glance over your shoulder, a lose strap, a man hole cover, a nodding motion to far that can kill you.
For the driver it's a split second glance, a distraction from another road user, the rattle of his cab or a second glance to his exit junction that leaves him living with death on his hands.

Nobody can win, I would rather a responsible HGV driver out on the roads extra vigilant, and warning other HGV drivers, than I would want to see him striped of his livelihood and charged guilty of killing a cyclist in a no win situation.

Oliver’s point about the classification is spot on, it will not get the attention it deserves without it a more fitting label. But the focus needs to be on the road layouts, HGV traffic, HGV security measures and suitability of vehicle for London traffic and then the actions of the driver. Which you are effectively trying to prove if the driver had chance to see the cyclist and took that chance… I can’t see this being proved with any evidence sadly
