It is the few lorry drivers who are not so good we have to worry about. Far too many of them are the drivers of large tipper lorries (as this morning) or other construction industry people who are under financial pressure to rush around and get as many trips in a day as they possibly can.
They do have a duty of care to other road users, even those who are not paying attention or breaking the law. We hope that new health and safety laws will be used to bring the dodgy drivers and their employers up to a decent standard.
