Ban on lorries in London

[THELORDRODWELL]

Some cyclists seem to think these superhighways' red lights don't apply to bikes, even when the red lights are in the picture of a bike!

I have words with them too

Aye, looking at the article, HGVs were responsible for 23% of pedestrian fatalities and 58% of cyclist fatalities in London over the past two years but only cover 4% of the miles driven. The move is generally with the aim of promoting safety rather than banning lorries.

Cyclists should get a licence.

All HGV's in the capital will require full length doors for visibility and 360 camera systems to protect pedestrians and cyclists.

And what have the cyclists done to improve things?

I was rooting for the fella in the car all the way through that video.

Drones, mate. It's the way forward. They'll have to be pretty big and powerful to get a driver on them like.

The one I nearly hit yesterday after he'd jumped a red light certainly thought he was.

Surprised he didn't threaten to report you to the police and make a video of your reaction

Cyclists always have right of way

At all times

Exactly.

In Greater London between 2005-2015 there were 37,760 adult cyclists injured whilst riding a bike.



4640 casualties which involved a goods vehicle.

Of 140(!) fatalities in total


63 fatalities
613 serious injuries
3964 slight injuries

Involved goods vehicles

45% of London's cyclists fatalities involve lorries of some sort by my working there

But how many were the fault the cyclist and how many were the fault of the lorry driver. There is always the assumption that any accident involving a cyclist is 100% the fault of the other party.

All involve cyclists

My solution

Ban cycling

They're both arse holes imo. The cyclist is a bellend going on like a f***ing jobsworth and goading the bloke in the car, the bloke in the car just needed to simply drive away but showed zero self control

Not sure that's got anything to do with improving technology on HGV's to increase visibility.

HONK HONK MOTHER FUCKER

That's what we need.
More Sassy Lorry Drivers.

 

[lurker]

It's true though

Move to Vietnam or china where no fucker can afford a car if you want to live in Victorian times.

If I went to London in a horse and trap people would be f***ing outraged
