London Mayor to ban unsafe lorries.

Good news. Makes me glad I voted for him. Hopefully diesel vehicles will
be the next to be banned.

The only doubt is Andrew Gilligan's comments at the bottom of the article.

Ah, a return to trams and trolley buses, with steam lorries, and Hackney
Carriages, good idea.

That link highlights how lorries are involved in pedestrian and cyclist deaths
in numbers that are massively disproportional to their level of London city's
road use. The figures suggest this proposed ban for the least safe lorries in
2020, and gradually banning less safe lorries in subsequent years, is overdue.

I understand that haulage firms should be given time to renew and adapt their
fleets in order to reduce deaths on London's roads. But, the only outstanding
question should be: why is this ban taking so long to effect?

Good question.

Let London ban lorries if it likes.

It'll soon become apparent what a lunatic idea it is.

Give it a week - a fortnight at most - before the population of London
demands that the ban is removed.

It's not a ban on all lorries that is being proposed, but a ban on the more
"unsafe" lorries.

This could work in conjunction with certain lorries only being allowed into
London during certain hours. When the city is less congested, during some of
the hours of darkness, for example.

The last HGV death was 15 months ago anyway.

But the last HGV pedestrian death was only a few days ago.
