Mayor's Questions - HGV action

An educational DVD you say? Thank fuck for Boris - now the streets are safe! TWAT. How much did that DVD cost to make and distribute? You can buy a mirror for the front lorry blind spot for £15. Why didn't he just send them one of those each?

RT @GreenJennyJones We can't do our job. Tomorrow the Mayor will make a major (and late) transport statement (cuts?). Not today, so we can't ask him questions.

RT @thebikeshow Mayor Boris didn't mention his planned cuts to the only police unit in London qualified to carry out HGV checks.

Total coward.

he did suggest they were sending out mirrors for the blind spots as well, but didn't specify how many. that's not entirely the point though. it's important that the vehicles on the road comply with the law, and the unit are qualified to spot, stop and give the drivers the information they need to be safe and in road legal vehicles, and with them being 'officials' within the police force, might actually get a bit of respect.

@edmundro - those things are terrifying.
