Yeah, a large number of HGVs are involved in construction, I've no idea how they could be replaced unless by river barges or something. Often sub-contracted with an incentive to cut corners, like the lorry that killed Svetlana Tereschenko at Bow. No additional safety features, no mirrors, driver chatting on a mobile and not indicating and the police charge the driver with.. nothing.
