Another good Indy article - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/a-truckers-view-of-life-in-the-cycle-lane-2278512.html
I like this as it shows the reality of things (imo) Commercial drivers aren't out there to kill you but as everyone knows there is a large amount of stupidity in each group - you get stupid cyclists, stupid peds, stupid taxi drivers etc. The only difference with lorries is that they need competent drivers and also visual aids. Without the visual aids a competent driver could make a slight mistake and with a 40ton veh the damage can easily be a lot. With visual aids and a stupid driver he may chose to ignore the visual aids and be a cock. Thats life.
