From the cab - a HGV drivers view

There is a fair bit of hypocrisy in peoples responses to what he has said... All these people saying that wearing headphones makes no difference to the situation, read any of the dumb pedestrian posts on here, the number one gripe is idiot pedestrian wandering out into the middle of the road on their phones or listening to music through headphones. If its hard for a cyclist to react in time in these sort of situations its going to be even harder for someone in a 20t truck. Not commenting on this case, as I don't know all the facts, but to bitch and moan about the behaviour from pedestrian in one thread and then say its fine for cyclists in another is hypocritical.

This is a lazy, lazy argument, which you ought to be ashamed of. Identify the posters in this thread who have complained about 'idiot pedestrians' or delete this section. I have NEVER posted or blogged about 'dumb peds'. So please do not suggest or insinuate that I have.
