Video: National Express ‘blind spot’ sticker spotted – but how useful is it?

It's a basically saying this vehicle isn't safe to be on the road. If they really wanted to make a useful gesture then extra mirrors, cameras, or some sort of detection system would be more use...

If the vehicles have passed type approval and meet all the other regs, not a lot you can do.

Most of these laws come from Brussels these days.

What's the legal standing on this? as they have just admitted in print that they are operating a fleet of coaches that have a dangerous design flaw in (on?) them / their drivers cannot adequately see the road when driving.

Perhaps they've put it down there, so you can read it after being knocked off.

So instead of eliminating the blind spot through design or technology they've gone for the soft option i.e. up yours cyclist. If we chose that option at work the HSE would be all over us.

An irrelevant distraction in the campaign for a safe environment for cycling for all, like the rest of the stickers and the helmet debate.

Do National Express drivers have regular cycle training? If not, why not? That would do more to make the current roads safer than any sticker ever can.

I'd probably run into the back of the bus trying to read it. Waaay to small.

Maybe they could add a warning saying they will park pretty much wherever you most wouldn't like to have to over take a bus, like on a main road, on a corner in rush hour while I'm cycling my kids to school.

It took over a generation. almost two generations from when they found out cigarettes killed you to not have to work somewhere and breathe in smoke.

How long will it take from establishing we shouldn't have to share with vehicles like this to actually not having to share with them?

Stickers Schmickers.

Well, at least it's inoffensive.
