Default the quest for safety

I believe that lorries can kill men too. But that's not as
emotive, is it?


Yes it's true, there is no discrimination in events such as the one
described. However, in the case of the one I was thinking of (at Sowerby
Bridge a few years ago when the vehicle suffered brake failure) it was women
and children who were in the way.


IIRC there was also at least one man in the way. He was in (and
perhaps driving) a British Telecom van.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me using the RIP Act 2000.
