Very interesting read and hits the nail on the head. I have been a delivery driver since 1992 most of which is in London.I think that when people go for their tests they should (1) Take some lessons in London just for the experiance (Black Cabs U turning without any indication, motorbikes & cyclists popping up in your blind spots and good old pedestrians walking out on green lights!!!) and when you then get the hang of driving the car around London go out in a Lorry. Driving Lorries make you use your mirrors so much more.I have had my scrapes over the years.Some my fault, some not.Thing is you are always learning.It doesn't mean your stupid if u are still learning even after years of driving!!!
