EU Written Declaration on HGVs - PLEASE SUPPORT

Dear *****

Thank your email regarding Written Declaration 81/2010 on heavy goods
vehicle collisions. I have signed the Written Declaration which was
launched by my LibDem colleague Fiona Hall MEP with cross party support
in the European Parliament.

A growing number of serious road accidents have been linked to blind
spots that affect many large heavy lorries. I have had my own personal
experience of the problem after having a lucky escape when my car was
hit by a lorry in an accident a few months ago.

The Declaration calls for the fitting of sensors and cameras in lorries
to eliminate blind spots which would mean lorry drivers could be fully
aware where other road users are and help drivers to check all angles
before moving off at junctions on a bend where so many accidents occur.

My press release on the matter can be viewed here:

As you mention in your email it is important that a majority of MEPs
sign Written Declaration 81/2010 in order to get it adopted. That would
force the European Commission to come forward with proposals to
eliminate blind spots from lorries.

Thank you again for your correspondence.

Yours sincerely,

Liz Lynne MEP.
