Cars drive and park in the bike lane all the time in NYC, but rarely get ticketed. Then a delivery guy gets doored, and he gets a ticket. Also notice that by the time he's going down, he's in a sharrowed part of the lane, so he is allowed full use of the lane. I was expecting an e-bike but it looks like a regular hybrid. That parking spot is for commercial vehicles only. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7421...7i16384!8i8192 The cops should have ticketed the driver for illegal parking. One of the reason the bike lane exists is to eliminate cyclists impeding traffic. There is very little traffic in those images. |

A lot of the deaths in my town seem to happen with trucks/blind spots. Frankly I don't understand why insurance companies aren't demanding relatively cheap, readily available mirror cameras, and using rates as the stick/carrot. The technology has been available for a long time...and those without it should be paying higher premiums that reflect the risk.

This from one of the posted articles sums it up almost everywhere. Sad but true.
“Our City’s unofficial policy for too long has been that no matter how reckless, dangerous and harmful a person’s driving, there will never be consequences and oftentimes the driver will remain on the road,”

The issue in Philadelphia is often trucks turning, and to me, if you don’t have a camera when you know blind spots are an issue, that should constitute negligence. |

No one is perfect, just isn't possible, too many variables. I agree on the negligence, and as you said, to install cameras on even just 10 trucks is not expensive, and insurance discounts nullify the initial cost. I work for a company that obviously invests in equipment and safety, but not all do. Cameras don't help stop a driver who is a menace, whether in a car or truck.
