For me it's a no brainer saying watch out for a fucking massive truck. It's the left turning HGV message we need to push, so it would be better to allude to that and give a website for advice. And there might even be some people that have no idea what a 'HGV' even is.
im glad you are discussing this. Re the above - EILIDH WAS NOT ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE LORRY WAS NOT TURNING LEFT, SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE, ON HIS RIGHT SIDE, IN FRONT OF HIM - she was doing everything as suggested in training, guidance, whatever. You cant trust these vehicles.
My point is Boris is saying get on your bike, its such fun and you are so carefree, but it is HE and those posters that should be showing the website that goes direct to the dangers to watch out for. The problem is THEY ALL ASSUME T
