Truck drivers trained on bikes in bid to cut cycling deaths in London
This is really smart. We are often concerned that too many people simply don’t understand the perspective of a person n a bicycle on city streets. Once people gain that understanding, they become better drivers.
More than 1,500 lorry and van drivers working in the capital have been given cycling training as part of a new initiative to help combat deaths on London roads. Travis Perkins, the largest builders’ merchant in the UK, has put 1,650 of its drivers through a day of training to give them a perspective of what it is like as a cyclist in London.
