More than half of all cycle deaths on London roads follow collisions with goods vehicles.<BR/><BR/>Therefore today's news that HGV drivers are to be give free special mirrors to help compbat this is good news. <BR/><BR/>Read more in the Standard: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23451715-details/10,000+lorries+are+given+mirrors+to+save+cyclists'+lives/article.do <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure that you can blame Ken for murder, that is a bit too far fetched...Crime levels are notioriously unreliable.
