I object to the collateral damage, so that's one person who isn't doing
any political posturing. I expect most people trying to cross the road,
but are blocked by a bendy-bus, are also more interested in the
practical objections.

Yes , we should ban HGVs too because they can occasionally block pedestrian
crossings and squish cyclists. 7.5 tonners are the way forward!

I don't see many HGVs in central London, as it happens. So it's not so
much of a problem. Changing them into smaller trucks is more difficult
too, because the cargo isn't self-loading like it is for buses.
