FURTHER to Richard Alderson’s reply to my previous letter, ‘Mirrors won’t work’.
I am fully aware of the origin of these mirrors. I would also like him to know, not only do I cycle, I also drive an HGV.
I have held my licence for 28 years. I have an operators CPC and a drivers CPC.
Have been a member of the Institute of Logistics), I have managed transport companies for many years and ran my own transport business for the past 12 years.
I see on a daily basis, how (some) cyclists, (some) car drivers and (some) HGV drivers perform.
I also have a recording forward camera fitted in my vehicle.
I would, however, ask if Mr Alderson would like to cycle to work with me some time, and then spend a day with me in my truck.
I would enlighten him as to why these mirrors will not work.
