All about recognition

摘要

Jeff Morris has driven for Travis Perkins in its various guises for the past 37 years - all out of its depot in Battersea. His main task is driving one of the largest vehicles on the fleet (a 32-tonner) around central London. He said: "There are a lot more bikes than before," and unfortunately cyclists can be "a bit ignorant", - which is why he supports the Fleetsource safe urban driving course. "It's good the way it is trying to get trucks to recognise bikes and bikes to recognise trucks. I drive around Westminster and Kensington and there can be a swarm of 20 or 30 bikes. I hold back and let them go." But he did not blame local government for encouraging more cyclists and he supports what London mayor Sadiq Khan is doing. "He's trying to improve safety for other road users," he said.
