  • I used to get annoyed by these (the wording of a lot of them is still very off). But I think a lot of people would do well to take note.

    As per most mornings, I was undertaken by 3 cyclists who shot up the inside of the left indicating truck I was waiting behind today. Do they not know that you shouldn't do that? Ignorance, stupidity, impatience? Not sure.

    The sainsburys one, while large isn't in a victim blamey tone, it's just a bit of information for people who do something that is dangerous. Is saying "beware of passing this vehicle on the inside" victim blaming? Insulting? Patronising?

  • the "Alert today...alive tomorrow" part of the sticker on the Sainsbury's lorry is very patronising in my opinion.

    Worse than patronising given the injury statistics. Most of the recent dead could have been as alert as they wanted, they were still killed by bad driving.
