Any time you see an HGV, summon up a picture in your mind of death on wheels, of rolling death - and act accordingly. It's not just the inside you avoid, it's the outside lane, it's the in front of. They cannot see you.
I was walking in Battersea the other day and an HGV turning out of a side road took out a huge wooden bollard with its rear wheel as I passed. Concrete and soil all over, the pavement a mess. The driver just about noticed, but his truck was untouched. It scared me to death.
Be scared of HGVs, my friend.
