HGVs in our view are a key danger. Indeed, the sheriff’s statement (judiciary.scot/home/sentences…) pointed to the roles that the dash-mounted reversing screen and outmoded design of the HGV, with poor direct vision, played in the tragedy.

Bigger cars come at a cost.

Great piece from Campaign for Better Transport on the dangers of car bloat 👇

The good news is these projected impacts suggest economic damages are at least sixfold higher than the investment required to get to net zero. Far from being a cost, net zero is the deal of the century.
