Unfortunately a Land Rover Defender SWB is not representative of the 4x4 vehicles you see on the streets of London. Most 4x4 vehicles, people carriers and other similar vehicles are that bit wider, longer and higher and make a significant difference to other road users - when parking, turning out of junctions, trying to move around in queues, passing on narrow roads with parked cars. The other frequent problem with these* is tinted windows that are too dark to see through properly, so you can't make eye contact and you can't see through to the other end/side. And for cyclists, you can't easily see over these cars to anticipate what's coming ahead. |
