That's terrible, the mirrors should be improved on lorries.
-
Why is such a dangerous motor vehicle allowed on the road?
-
Wow I've never seen a truck before. thanks
-
pro tip: if you cant drive your big boy truck w/o hitting cyclist, then turn in your badge and work fast food

This is a bit of an exaggeration and good example of poorly adjusted mirrors.
However those of you who seem to deny blind spots exist and are happy to put 100% trust in the driver, not having a lax in judgement with no human errors whatsoever. Carry on, keep sneaking up on the inside. The driver will be in the wrong and held responsible but you'll be 'dead' in the right which i suppose is all that matters, right? -
Wide mirror is wrongly adjusted in my view. Very badly. Negligent. That movie show only why blind spot hgv accidents happened. Adjust your mirrors mr driver@!!! Then drive
-
Those mirrors must have been found in a lucky bag.

Iv always appreciated truckers and thought its unfair how they were treated in London. Honestly, last week I drove, just a van, i couldnt see the car next to me, only time i realised it was there was when it had started passing my drivers side window. Really risky, wonder why no wide scope cams are made and fitted on these trucks

Bardzo dobra realizacja, uświadamia.

This is simply the best video I have ever seen about the dangers when turning with a truck: A simple and clear message. It would be interesting to see the same thing without the truck having half way turned.

I expected there to be one cyclist there because of the video title.
BUT! ! ! ! !
