[QUOTE 3810284, member: 9609"]yes you can, they can be better trained, they can have less pressurised working conditions, combine this with better enforcement and penalties that hit hard, penalties that not only hit the driver but also the operator - £90 fine for speeding, lets increase that to £500 for the driver and £5000 for the operator, the operators will soon be very careful who the let loose on the roads.
I know you and other have your heart set on what a redesigned cab may bring, and I hope you're right because that is what we are going to get. Personally I think it will make next to no difference - the problem is the person driving not the lorry. In the vid in this thread the driver has adequate view of the road he is turning into.[/QUOTE]
I'm all for better training, less time pressure etc, but you can't stop people farking up. So, when they do screw-up, you need to try and make the consequences of such behaviour less serious for others. If a driver was in a position to see another road user more easily, he would have a better chance of avoiding them, like in the OP. That said, no amount of training or cab re-design is going to stop gross negligence.
