[QUOTE 3565320, member: 9609"]I am not wishing to preserve the status quo, not at all, I hate about every aspect of our roads, the total disrespect of road laws, the acceptance of the massive death and serious injured toll that as a society we weirdly seem to accept! even the massive destruction of our wildlife, people go out and feed the birds then drive along a country road at 60mph with the dam things stotting of the windscreen, the whole thing about motorised transport is just odd, and it all needs a complete redesign.
I don't think your idea for someone helping with observation is that bad of an idea, but I doubt any government would touch it with a barge poll, it won't happen, we need to lower our aim to something a little more achievable.[/QUOTE]
Sorry User9609 - that probably seemed more specifically aimed at you than intended. Your post just reminded me of something else. All the same, we cannot afford to approach the argument through the lens of what is already palatable to government/haulage/construction/motoring, because we need a fundamental shift in power relations on the roads. Lorries are not going to become safer unless we oblige them to be so.
