In article .com,
allan tracy says...

Large HGVs are designed for motorways not the urban environment where
they can be routinely seen to mount pavements and generally fail to
fit into the road space provided.


Only because ****s in cars park inconsiderately (BIG CLUE: LOADING BAYS
AREN'T FOR CARS) and car driving morons working in poxy back streets
order stuff to be delivered on a vehicle that won't fit.

The RHA is for ever bleating on about 95% of goods being moved by road
but then their competitors would never be allowed to get away with the
**** HGVs do so it's hardly surprising is it.


Like the illegal hours train drivers were being forced to work to the
point they were thinking about striking?

Like the latest scare about airline pilots falling asleep at the
controls or pulling the flaps lever instead of the landing gear lever?

At every level the aviation and rail industry surpasses the HGV
industry on safety reliability and general adherence to the rules and
a fat lot of good it does them too, when they're undercut on price by
a bunch of cowboys working ninety hours a week on overloaded badly
maintained lorries.

VOSA disagrees with you.
