"Are women cyclists in more danger than men?"

"Women cyclists make up a far higher proportion of deaths involving lorries than men. Why?"

I assume "lorrry" = truck.

In 2007, an internal report for Transport for London concluded women cyclists are far more likely to be killed by lorries because, unlike men, they tend to obey red lights and wait at junctions in the driver's blind spot.
There's their first problem.
