Mayor Boris and members of his transport team - including Transport
Commissioner Peter Hendy and the Mayor's Director of Transport
Policy Kulveer Ranger - were out and about on their bikes on Friday
morning just gone cycling around in east London, doing a bit of
scouting around in connection with the upcoming "Cycle Super
Highways" project, when this happened on Narrow Street in
Limehouse... (video):

I think this video
should be compulsory viewing for each and every lorry driver - it
really send the message that one should 'make sure your vehicle is
secure'.


It should also be compulsory viewing for the councils who put speed bumps
in... and for the people who decide whether a lorry design is safe or not.
Maybe all lorry doors should roll up.
