DwightSheight Colin Witney-Shanahan I’m talking about big trucks that don’t see other road users - the ones that kill cyclists & pedestrians. Not seeing a small part of the car doesn’t result in devastating damage.
Martin G 🇪🇺💙 DwightSheight Colin Witney-Shanahan Camera technology needs to present on large vehicles. Signs warning cyclists but that’s simply not good enough.
@DariaHassQT Martin G 🇪🇺💙 DwightSheight Colin Witney-Shanahan Reversing cameras have become more common and trucks have 6 mirrors and 3 windows. No matter how much tech is in use a driver can look only at one thing at a time.
I recommend cyclists should wear hivis if they're going to cycle in traffic. It's more important than a helmet.
Tim Hill 🇺🇦🗿 Martin G 🇪🇺💙 DwightSheight Colin Witney-Shanahan I recommend that the trucks are taken off the road until they are as safe as cars.
DwightSheight @DariaHassQT Martin G 🇪🇺💙 Colin Witney-Shanahan What would I know about it eh? Cyclist for 60 years, driver for 38 years, motorcyclist for 35 years, van and truck driver for 10 years. Batten down the hatches when a reasoned argument you disagree with comes from more experience than yours. 🙄
