the way this is going, were all knobbers, who are blind and we are majour dangers
Nope, nobody's said that either.
Tell you what, forget about the four thousand tacho prosecutions last year, despite checks being reduced. Forget about police actions like Operation Safeway that found that most HGVs on the road were breaking the law in some way, some serious breaches. Let's just look at the deaths. Cos we both want to reduce the numbers of people getting killed, right?
The lorry driver who killed Eilidh Cairns had faulty eyesight (the police didn't even bother to discover this until the same driver killed another woman.)
The lorry driver who killed cyclist Brian Dorling turned across his path.
The lorry driver who killed cyclist Svetlana Tereschenko was in an unsafe lorry, failing to indicate and chatting on a mobile. The police decided to charge him with..nothing.
The lorry driver who killed cyclist Deep Lee failed to notice her and smashed into her from behind.
The lorry driver that killed cyclist Andrew McNicoll failed to notice him and side swiped him.
The lorry driver that killed cyclist Daniel Cox was in a truck which did not have the correct mirrors and whose driver had pulled into the ASL on a red light and was indicating in the opposite direction to which he turned.
That doesn't sound like cautious behaviour by lorry drivers to me.
