TIL there's an easy piece of technology that can prevent cyclists and pedestrians from being run over and killed by trucks

In the European Union, side guards had been required on all trucks since 1989.

I don't remember to ever seen this. The European trucks seem to be smaller, and maybe the space is used more efficiently... ?

EDIT: i saw the images posted in the comments... yeah i've seen them, but they do not look like a fence, just something occupying the space, i always assumed it was something that was necessary for the normal operation of the truck.

EDIT 2: The next time i left home, i saw one... I guess i never paid attention. So forget my comment

You know that they could just fork it, right? Saying that "it's american", just causes FUD for opensource.
