I don't have much faith in no 10 petitions. There was one on this subject a few months ago, submitted by Cycle Plus magazine. When it finished there was a statement from the Department for Transport, saying that they had done all that they could and that they were constrained by the European Commission. Neither of those statements are true.
We had a miserable meeting with the Minister for Road Safety (and Lorry tech stuff) last year. We are due to meet him again in a few weeks and will be pressing him to actually do something. I have also emailed Emily Thornberry MP, who has campaigned on this issue consistently and who is the MP for Islington South where today's crash happened.
