Even in the trucking world its getting worse.
When i I used to do abnormal loads where the trailer swings out due to the rear steering and escort van warningmpeople they'd still cut up your inside by the trailer then get a rude fucking shock when it suddenly steers towards them.
That's not got anything to do with standard of driving though. That's because the majority of car/van drivers don't and haven't driven HGV's or large vehicles that have tail swing, so don't think about it or even know it exists. I have to watch my tail swing everyday in a bus because the wheels are so far in towards the middle, I have about a metre of overhang that swings out when I'm turning into roads, and I know that people won't be looking for it - not because they're bad drivers, but because the vehicles they drive don't have tail swing, so they won't be even considering it. I know I didn't before I started driving buses...
