  • What's more dangerous, lorries, or people who ignore other road users indicating?

    i'll take 'an industry that habitually employs provably dangerous individuals as a result of an almost non-existent system of checks and balances on their suitability to operate a 20 ton vehicle with demonstrably poor design in the public domain' for ten.

  • I'd says it's simply that those HGV were designed to travel on motorways from facility to facility.

    The market have changed, but the vehicles haven't.

    HGV are not allowed on country road, but perfectly fine on small residential street.

  • Does that absolve responsibility of cyclists passing left-indicating vehicles on the inside?

    Two scenarios:

    1. A lorry ahead of me is indicating left. I wait, the lorry turns, I continue.
    2. A lorry ahead of me is indicating left. I continue travelling on my path as if it is not there, and get knocked off.

    Who has created the danger there?

    Presumably if you were indicating right and somebody on a bike overtook you, you would be annoyed?

    Politics?
