Half the lorries in London are empty. More than thirty recycling companies have lorries servicing Regent Street alone. Vans and lorries trundle round the capital carrying water as good as that which comes from a tap. Laundry is carried in lorries to facilities in the outskirts cos it's cheaper. Thousands of largely pointless journeys. As long as career criminals like Barry Meyer can stroll into a lorry firm and get a job despite having no licence it seems a bit daft to ask cyclists to modify their behaviour.
