They are often looking at the side gutter because that’s where they are cleaning, and that’s why they go so slow. My husband is a sweeper truck operator. He hit a whole truck once that parked behind him and turned off his lights. Their eyes are on the mess once they’ve confirmed the area is clear of cars.

How does your husband like that job? It's one task that I've always thought would be SO satisfying. Just sucking up leaves and detritus with a giant, all-powerful vacuum. 🙌 Like a katamari-style task.

Dang, someone needs to invent a katamari style manner for cleaning. Just a big sticky ball that you can roll around and:.
...all the leaves are picked up!
...all the clothes in my room are off the floor!
...the kids are packed and ready to go!

It would of course only work if you're singing a cappella.

He really enjoys it! He works for a paving company, not the city, but he gets a lot of satisfaction from cleaning the gravel off the streets.

It's the perfect job for cleaning up messes caused by drunks!

Then perhaps they should be trained to be more observant? Not to be insensitive or anything, but if the vehicle can't be operated safely then it shouldn't be operated...
Sounds like your husband backed up into a parked car because they didn't check before reversing.
