Has anyone mentioned the "drivers mate / tea boy/ fluffer"
when I was a lad etc etc. drivers almost always had a 'mate' with them to do the jobs in the cab other than the actual driving. navigation, looking out of the side window etc. now that the drivers seem to be predominantly 'forever alone' are there demonstrably more deaths due to the 'blind side' no longer being covered by another pair of eyes. even if those eyes are in the head of a Neanderthal?
