In 2013, HGVs were the cause of approx. 65% of all deaths of a cyclist (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25080427 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25080427).
* 2010: 10 deaths, four involving HGVs
* 2011: 16 deaths, 12 involving HGVs
* 2012: 14 deaths, five involving HGVs
* 2013 so far: 14 deaths, nine involving HGVs
In fact, it looks like every cyclist death this year (up to 9th April) has been from a collision with a HGV (http://www.london24.com/news/cycling/london_cycle_deaths_2015_1_3964719 http://www.london24.com/news/cycling/london_cycle_deaths_201...).
I've not read the 2014 report from ROSPA, so I will take a look! Thanks for posting the link!
