Lorry drivers have no more excuses when it comes to cycling blind spots (UK)
A new campaign calls for transport firms to send their HGV drivers on cycle-awareness courses and fit their vehicles with cameras
The risk to cyclists from large lorries is a problem in all urban areas. Thankfully crashes are rare – on average about eight cyclists per year are killed by lorries in London, accounting for about half the cyclist deaths in the capital. Across the UK, about 28 are killed by lorries each year, with 70% of these in urban areas.
