Are hood mirrors a substitute for side mirrors? Like do they have the full field of view so you can see the same things as you see on a side mirror? I'm doubting it myself.
It's also kind of irrelevant. It sucks that the window was broken but the driver should have gone to one place only and that was the shop to get the truck repaired (without duct tape on the window). Even then it's arguable if even that should have been attempted as it was probably unsafe to drive either with duct tape or without duct tape in the Canadian winter and actually the truck probably needed towing or working on at the site of the accident.
If they went off working then I'm really not surprised they got into legal trouble. They'd be facing manslaughter charges if they accidentally killed a cyclist because they couldn't see them while delivering amazon packages or whatever his lorry/van does.
I get that it's the guys livelihood but these safety laws exist for a good reason, and he's probably put his commercial license in jeopardy by his actions.
Lorry? are you an English thinking this guy was a local delivery driver in a short straight truck? (If cyclists on the highways ain't on the right it's their fault)
