Large HGVs are designed for motorways not the urban environment where
they can be routinely seen to mount pavements and generally fail to

The RHA is for ever bleating on about 95% of goods being moved by road
but then their competitors would never be allowed to get away with the
**** HGVs do so it's hardly surprising is it.

At every level the aviation and rail industry surpasses the HGV
industry on safety reliability and general adherence to the rules and
a fat lot of good it does them too, when they're undercut on price by
a bunch of cowboys working ninety hours a week on overloaded badly
maintained lorries.


What has this got to do with making other road users aware of the limited
sightlines from the driving seat of a lorry?
