2024-07-17 23:55:43 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The assertion that blind spots are inevitable and unavoidable is false. Systems exist to remove and mitigate them, which will soon be mandatory for large vehicles with poor visibility driving in London. https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/deliveries-in-london/delivering-safely/direct-vision-in-heavy-goods-vehicles/dvs-star-ratings-and-safe-system

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1813588746417369292

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
