In theory that's what Advanced Stop Lines are for! When they get observed by cars, anyway :-/ (actually drivers do seem to be getting better at this, at least in London).

The women/lorries thing is a v dodgy interpretation of the data, btw - http://baconbutty.blogspot.com/2007/04/women-cycle-and-live.html has some discussion & some links. Although lorries turning left is a major issue for cyclists - the straightforward solution is a) don't go up the inside of long vehicles & b) don't stop alongside LVs (stop behind or ahead). Retro-fitting decent mirrors to all LVs would help as well...
