I'm sorry, but they fucking should be. If a truck is not fitted with enough, properly placed mirrors then I think it is ridiculous to accept that they just can't see. All trucks and buses should be forced to be fitted with all the mirrors available to make sure they can see around them. (or sensors etc)
I just can't see how it is acceptable to allow tons of truck to be driving around partially sighted when, if not avoidable, it can at least be improved. It really pisses me off that as a society we accept 'I just couldn't see' / 'they were in my blind spot' as an excuse - for killing someone FFS.
I know that this can't be changed and that impotence makes me even angrier.
(sorry Dylan - not particularly a rant at you...)
