Think it's true.

Maybe it's a new type of small vehicle that they sometimes have on the back of a motor home, but in reverse. :D

There's a massive blind spot on the front of lorries, that's why you see lorries with mirrors on the top of the windscreen.

I thought they had a big sheet of glass at the front so that the driver could see out.

One of my drivers who used to drive lorries a few years ago told me that the tanker driver wouldn't have even felt the impact with the car because of the normal vibrations/oscillations of the load and that all new lorries now have to have a mirror fitted to the windscreen to see in front it certainly makes me feel a lot more nervous now when lorries pull up inches off your bumper at trqaffic lights !
