Quoting article from last night London Lite:
"Lorry drivers will be forced to undergo cycle safety training as part of Boris Johnson's plans to get more Londoners onto bikes.
Cyclist will also be invited to sit inside HGVs see how restricted the views can be. The mayor is spending £3mm on schemes to encourage more cyclists. There has been a 9% rise in cycling in the cpaital under Mr Johnson"

    Just wondering how 'forced' the lorry drivers are, and will it apply to the ones that currently call themselves drivers (ones that block a road and take five minutes to overtake another)?
