That low blood sugar was unconfirmed. (Unbestätigten Berichten)

I'd bet a fiver that the driver was texting or similar. We're all fortunate that there was no cyclist in the bike lane at the time.

Drives a too straight line to be texting, i think.
I more recognise it as something that happened to me once or twice when starting to drive here.
When you are used to drive LHD cars, it takes a kerb or 2 to realise that most of the car is now on your left side and not on your right side anymore

He never went into the segregated bike lane, TBF losing a meter and a half of road without warning might have something to do with it as well.

Thanks to the kerb that stopped him. If it had happened 100m earlier, it could have been quite different.

And there was me thinking that the 500m of red tarmac and dotted white line might have been some kind of 'warning' - but perhaps not, if you're focused on WhatsApp.

the white edge of the cycle lane changes to a light grey kerb, easy to mis identify one as the other when the sun is in your eyes

This is where he hit the kerb, where the on-road bike lane, marked with red tarmac and a dotted line for about 500m, changes to an on-path bike lane.

Anyone who has difficulty seeing this bike lane has no business being behind the wheel, responsible for a couple of tonnes of metal. If the sun is a problem, stop driving until you fix it with sunglasses or whatever. This is what happens when you drive blindly.

In this country the safest place to veer into and not hit a cyclist is a cycle lane.

The even-safer option would be to remain in control of the tonne or two of metal that you're supposed to be responsible for and not veer anywhere.

If that was a right hand drive truck he was dead.

If it was right hand drive, driving on the left, the bike would have been to his right and seen.

I suspect he put the boot down and pulled in front of the truck.

You'd hit the cars parked and blocking the cycle lane though.

The National Transport Authority seems to disagree with you.

What did you think the red tarmac was for?

It's not a bike lane, it's a cycle track and cycle tracks are not exclusive to cycles, hence the broken white line

Well, if you want to be really pedantic (and it seems like you do), it is an advisory cycle track - a highly visible advisory cycle track, that there is no excuse for any driver not seeing.
