Lorries in London, it'd be alright if cyclists just saw their point of view.

h2o [quote]Buffalo Bill [quote]h2o Bill, when you say 'tipper lorries', do you mean those ones that pick up skips or rubbish trucks?

Just curious, like.

edit - or those ones with the big hydraulic flat bed thing on?

The spoil lorries that we will see a lot more of in East London, carrying rubble to and from the Olympic site.

ah, right. 'orrible things.[/quote]

My brief cycle trip in Spain was full of those things, the whole area round Madrid is one big building site. I quickly realised that they weigh probably about 30 tons when laden, and aren't likely to stop or manoeuvre for anyone. Nasty.
