As a cyclist and a HGV driver i'm all for this type of education and i know only to well of HGV blindspots, however i do have a couple of problems with this video,
Firstly it seems the camera is being held at chest height in the cab look at the shot of the steering wheel and then the pan round to the window and into mirror that sight line would indicate the driver is a midget as you can barely see over the steering wheel and view to mirror appears level this really doesn't give a good indication of what a driver can see or may not see, also at this camera angle/height it doesn't show that there is a mirror above the passenger window pointing down to the front wheel which may have enough pan to pick up the closet cyclist.
Secondly the position of the wagon at the model junction has been created to make a blind spot, if that artic were to continue at this angle and turn like that it would wipe out all the cyclists and mount kerb crossing the footway, if turned properly it would most probably be just as far from the kerb but heading straight allowing the driver to see cyclists before the time to turn.
Either way its a bad place to be on a bike and i do think more could be done on both sides to educate safety but from watching the video i cant help but feel the first shots aren't giving the whole view so to speak.
