Its terrible.

Just remember though when you are riding in a foreign country - take extra EXTRA care - a simple mistake like this can cost dearly as has been shown today.

Thoughts to their families.

Tragic that is the 3rd such accident i have heard of that happened like that this year, all involving trucks, as Goff says remember which side of the road to ride on, get summat on the bike to remind you, some kinda arrow pointing to the side of the road you are meant to be on is good, and also if you have been out there for a while be careful when you get back

i know i have done these things,

Me too.

This always reminds me of my own mortality, for all it's sad, it does make me think a little more on the road.

The drivers in that part of the world are the worst in europe though.

Reading a bit more about this it appears this tunnel the were exiting is fairly new and has been the subject of many complaints i read in one article, apparently it starts out dual carriageway at one end then goes into single in the tunnel or at the other end and has caused a lot of confusion the article i read reckons, read it here and here
