Check the Class VI mirror on the front of your lorryThis was the right answer

Be aware that cyclists and pedestrians could be hidden from view when you’re in slow-moving traffic or at pedestrian crossings. The Class VI (Cyclops) mirror on the front of your vehicle shows the area directly in front of you. Use this mirror to check that no-one is in front of your vehicle before you start to move.
