The cyclists died because of their stupid manouvre.

You don't know that.

So the bus started to pass the cyclists, then turned left whilst
still half way past them? Why didn't you say so? That's a very
different kettle of fish, as I've said all along.

There was no bus involved. Do keep up!

Apart from the bendibuses that we started off talking about.

In both cases, as I understand
it, the guilty vehicle was coming from behind the cyclist. In one
case it was turning left across the end of a cycle lane.

The field of vision in the mirrors on the vehicle is irrelevant in
those cases, then. Rather a different kettle of fish.

No. A vehicle should never impinge on an area of road where is doesn't
know what is already there. A blind spot is no excuse, but an indication
of inadequate mirrors.
