An interesting, informed and measured debate on the cyclists-lorry problem in the House of Lords yesterday.

I like this bit

"(Lorry)Designs are predicated on the needs of operators using national roads and not for the peculiar problems of London."

But these trucks, which follow rules !quite rightly" laid down at European level, don't focus theier attentions on London - theymust presumably also travel into many other major cities in the UK , Europe and elsewhere. Do these other cities not have similar "Truck v. Cyclists" problems?

Perhaps some of the people who post video footage of incidents involving these vehicles might send copies of their productions to some of the barons involved in the debate.
