@PaulCra33107260 I��d suggest the same way I deal with close-minded, moronic Twitter users: accept they’re only a small minority and hope you don’t have to interact with them too often #staysafe
@mrdanwalker@louiseminchin@gregjames I know you were all shocked by this footage. It is horrible that HGVs have enormous blindspots. Not many people understand just how easily a HGV Driver can’t see them. Road/HGV design is changing for the better but at the moment info is key
Glad that everyone here appeared to be okay but DO YOU SEE WHY, AS A CYCLIST, I DO NOT WANT TO MIX WITH LORRIES. IF DRIVERS CAN'T SEE A FUCKING CAR, AND FAIL TO NOTICE THEY'RE PUSHING ONE ALONG THE A40, HOW THE HELL ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO SEE ME.

@ChrisC_CFC I guess that’s the reality of using the road, unfortunately: we all have to deal with peoples various levels of empathy, apathy, knowledge, experience, anger and tolerance
Hi Chris. No we don’t but HGV Drivers do that as part of their Driver CPC on the ‘Safe Urban Driving’ course: HGV, Coach and even Van Drivers go out on bicycles to try and experience what it’s like for Cyclists
Thank you to those who have bought my little book 👍 You may know about #blindspots but you’re on your way to knowing why they exist, how they change, how quickly they change and how this may affect you if you interact with HGVs. Oh and what a great #christmaspresent for someone
