Why don't we give lorry-drivers handouts when we're stopped at traffic lights or something?

Spoke cards can't be read by lorry drivers, not anyone else when they're spinning in the wheel.

If we do friendly handouts, maybe even more than one per driver, they'll hand them out at truck-stops, and discuss our predicament. A possibly positive raising of awareness amongst the group that may be least informed, but the most concerned.

What does anyone think of this?

Transport for London have just re-printed a small leaflet we worked on about 5 years ago. If you read it from one side it starts "Ignorant lorry drivers" ... but if you pick it up the other way it starts "Ignorant cyclists!" I'll see if I can find the pdf and post it up here .. but not tonight. We don't have any in the office but I'm sure TfL will send some out.
