No idea how the cyclist survived this, but luckily these weren’t his last words:http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/5616157?1406190491 …

Before you all get your Lycra shorts in a twist, I'm NOT defending the driver,Just pointing out that cyclists can do more to help themselves
-
@JuliaHB1@GMcycling you r excusing driver minimising their bad driving and blaming the victim in it all -
@muddyryder@GMcycling no I am not excusing bad driving. I'm saying that being in the right doesn't count for much when you're in hospital

If the cyclist was in high-viz with lights on, then unforgivable of driver. If not, hard to spot at high speed in murky rain

@JuliaHB1 Driver shld also understand there are lots of#cyclists so must be xtra careful driving half ton of metal?@theJeremyVine -
.
@GreenJennyJones@theJeremyVine I agree! The driver is undoubtedly at fault but it's still wise for cyclists to wear high-viz for safety. - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1@Iwin1961@theJeremyVine@michaelrundle what do hi viz clothes have to do with this? Not mandatory. Driver has duty of care. -
@highburyonfoot@JuliaHB1@Iwin1961@theJeremyVine so has the cyclist. This appears to bypassed the bike champs. And yes I do cycle -
@nellslad@JuliaHB1@Iwin1961@theJeremyVine so hi vis really is not a no-brainer choice. And in any case not legal requirement. -
@highburyonfoot@JuliaHB1@Iwin1961@theJeremyVine funny how police cyclists and motor cyclists all wear hi vis. -
@nellslad@highburyonfoot@JuliaHB1@Iwin1961 It is probably safer to wear black. Then you know no one can see you
