I just wrote to the PM again here and asked whether he actually saw the petition himself or was the reply written and signed off by someone else. I pointed out that he did not address point B) recognising that vehicle specification must include suitability of the LGV for the city centre. He merely points out the current inadequate training. Lorries = 4% of traffic yet kill 70% of cyclists. The fundamental problem is that they cannot see cyclists. This is what our petition asked him to address and he has not. I also mentioned that the no. of cyclists killed by lorries in London rose from 8 to 13 since the petition started. I asked him to respond in full, as promised on his website. Fingers crossed.
I'll write similarly to all the relevant ministers.
