Phil, the LCC does constant work on this. We host the joint HGV Working Group which CTC, RoadPeace, and Living Streets attend, and most of the advances in this area (and yes, despite this new tragedy, there have been a few) are directly attributable to the work of that group. It's constant hard work and there's a huge amount going on.

noted. it just seems to be taking ages for any real change. and whilst it is taking ages people are getting killed. and many people are too scared to take up cycling. (one of my mates is nervous about recommending people to start cycling).

is it an idea to get rospa on board ? they have done a lot on safety in the construction industry over the last 20 years etc.

(for example i found out today that the speed limit on the olympics construction site is 15 mph. yet their lorries drive off their site, and then drive through the community at 30 mph. dont seem right to me. surely safety is safety wherever it is).

maybe this thread is not the time and place.

speak soon.
