    Here’s an interesting video from a reasonably articular HGV driver.

    At 3:00 he states that he has no real blindspots and using the mirrors he can see all round the front of his cab and down the side of the lorry.
    At 10:00 he demonstrates this by showing us the mirrors.

    So if the HGV drivers CAN see cyclists in their mirrors then why are they not prosecuted for death by careless driving when they don’t check the mirrors and squash someone?

    And if they do have blindspots then aren’t they in violation of the EU regulation above?
