EU Written Declaration on HGVs - PLEASE SUPPORT

I always thought the door should be made of a clear material so they could see. Surely that couldn't coast that much.

Is this a serious suggestion?

Most of these deaths are caused by:

1. Cyclists riding up the inside of moving trucks.
   
2. Drivers not using their mirrors.
   
   

It's that simple.

Sure, there is a bit of a blind spot as lorry cabs are so high up and the mirrors on the passenger door are so far from the driver they can hard to see out of, but any driver aware enough would be checking their mirrors sufficiently to know what is going on.

Using continental trucks for city deliveries, or using refuse vehicle style trucks as mentioned by Oliver Schick would be a cheap solution, as the driver would be much closer to the action on the curb.

Anyone who has ever seen the volume of goods going into a London supermarket before Christmas would realize what an impractical idea smaller trucks or alternative means of distribution would be.
