Flip flops at it again?

In the eyes of the law it will always be the vehicle changing lane that is at fault.

Driving a left ■■■■■■ must be difficult over here but by law they should have to have side cameras or at least a fresnel lens fitted to the passenger window. This drastically cuts the chance for this to happen.

Along side all of that better education to car drivers is needed. They sit along side trucks and on between trucks far to much in a vulnerable position and yet it is always the truck driver who the onus is upon to make sure they are safe.

Howany times do you need to move out to overtake and cars sit alongside you when they can move over and allow you to move over yet ignore great big orange flashing lights in their face, it’s just common sense if someone is indicating and you can safely move over yourself to allow them to move over. Yey it seems to be severely lacking these days.

Car drivers and all types of drivers need a lot more education full stop, the driving test should weedle out those who are not competent to drive but it doesn’t.

Spoken like someone who has zero experience of driving a left ■■■■■■. I get on just fine, as do many others. Use your mirrors easy does it, job done.

Your right I haven’t driven a left ■■■■■■.

Ive only driven a right ■■■■■■ in Spain so basically the same.

I never once in over 1400 miles nearly squished a car because I used my mirrors and am very aware of cars passing me in trucks just like most half decent drivers.

But it happens whether left or right hookers by some drivers. The only way to stop it happening is to change the way things are done.

Why else would Merc do away with mirrors for cameras?

Same as rear cameras and side view cameras, they are an aid and technology has improved a lot over the years, that doesn’t mean it should absolve a driver of his responsibility but why not use tech to make things safer?

Anything that can remove human error will make things safer it’s just part and parcel of life.

Although there will people who disagree and I do to some extent as it makes people who are not “drivers at heart” rely too much on the technology to save their hyde and to not care about how they drive.

Yes it breads laziness but with or without it the laziness will still be there.
