  • Ha ha Buffalo Bill. I wanted to put "Death by HGV: The TfL Lottery"

    My friend said it was too controversial! This sticker is not my main focus. A friend of Eilidhs has done it after we were discussing how cr@p the boris posters were and the safety vid that they published. I just wanted to put it on your site and see if anyone would help spread it around.
    Yes. I agree re the law. They do it on the continent, burden of proof should be on the most hazardous (and safest for the occupier) vehicle. The main actions I see now are:

    1. Change the law so the default situations is the most vulnerable assumed innocent (most difficult and will take ages but have egs abroad)
    2. Separate HGVs and cyclists in rush hour (the simplest and quickest and most effective) stats show most of deaths in rush hour (obvious)
    3. Vehicle design and driver education the best it can be - proximity sensors, alarms, cameras in cabs etc etc. This is all done, just needs implementation, and the will to do it.

    Personally Ive spent 6mths kicking ass with the police which has taken huge amount of time, effort and and downright tenacity, and now Im trying to finish our film which was orginally to find witnesses but is now an educational campaign (?), would love to cover all these issues and show the obvious solutions, its just become a massive project now. Buffalow Bill features. Clip is on vimeo - think its been posted on here before http://www.vimeo.com/4545070
    . Focus has changed since then.
    Anyway, enough ramblings. Thanks for offers of help.
