So sad to learn of this particularly as I have just returned from attending at the Dublin Coroner’s Court inquest into the death of Louise Butler last August after impact with a semi-trailer HGV on Frescati Road, Blackrock in DLR CoCo area.
These impacts should not be happening – they are entirely avoidable.
I returned a week ago from a 7 day cycle tour of Charente-Maritime-Cognac region of France and there the wheat/barley harvest was in full swing so we were subjected to some dangerous overtaking at speed with a lot of bulk-tankers rushing from fields to silos – the wind buffeting we were subjdexcted to was totally unacceptable. HGV drivers need to adopt a new overtaking strategy for vulnerable road users in traffic.
Reduce you speed and move out at least 1.5 m before overtaking cyclists and stop cutting in front of us at village-town gateway traffic-calming devices.
