  • I don't see larger/special mirrors making much of a difference to be honest. Shit, careless drivers are still gonna be shit, careless drivers. Most of these incidents seem to be on bends, corners, blindspots where there driver is in some kind of rush to get through to a straight. Once they have that mindset of 'I need to crack on with my journey/get away from the build up of traffic' that's it, they're only focused on getting from A-B as quickly as possible, that's just the way it is driving in London, not just for HGVs

    I know it ain't perfect but it's the best solution on the table. A total ban during certain hours is just not practical, what with the olympics coming up, also the construction industry has been particularly badly hit by the recession. Cycle training is a nice idea but also equally impractical, there are millions and millions of bikes - getting everyone trained up would be a logistical nightmare.
