Current designs are so bad that drivers can’t see people immediately in front of them and they have huge blind spots at the side. All of this isn’t completely avoidable with modern designs and those designs would save lives.
Of all EU countries, only Sweden has a better road safety record than the UK, yet we have to make HGVs more expensive because of feckless continentals who won't enforce existing legislation nor adopt good practice.

They only object if it doesn't come from someone with a bowler hat and cut glass accent.
