Sadiq Khan's HGV safety plan for London is too ambitious by far

摘要

There is an issue around road safety that we as HGV operators and cyclists have a joint responsibility to tackle together. Direct vision is the future for all cabs and something manufacturers are tackling head on. It takes in excess of 11 seconds for a driver to scan all their mirrors and monitors - a lot can happen in that time with London's roads as busy as they are. There is no replacement for being able to make direct eye contact with cyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.
