Not sure what any of this has to do with obeying the law or not. Avoiding blind sposts is recommended practice regardless of what you're driving. I guess it could also be argued that women are used to being noticed and being given preferential treatment which no longer works when no-one can see you.

My real issue with this whole thing are the stats: "As a point of comparison: since 2001, 576 British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq; 1,275 cyclists died on British streets." which not only apply to cyclists, but to automobile deaths as well. But somehow there's too much of a willingness to write all these deaths off as 'just an accident'.
