My son was wearing Hi Viz and reflecting gear and a helmet with an embedded LED when an Islington Council van rolled through a mandatory cycle-crossing and hit him while the driver was looking at his phone. He tried to persuade me not to phone 999 in case he lost his job. I was surprisingly unmoved.
I was wearing helmet and hiviz when another parent at son's school slammed open his van door while I passed and knocked me into traffic. Said that the van had been made with a "blind spot".
