  • Velocio, you are kind of describing a system TfL have brought in which looks at the hardware (the vehicles) and their operator skills. The addition that you suggest is the tech solution of stopping offenders with ANPR. Some companies don't fit in HGV category such as tipper lorries.

    But still most incidents with people out of cars are with private car drivers not lorries.The lorry ones are worse and grab headlines more. Ped and driver casualties are hardly reported so the view of cycling risk is skewed

    Maintain FORS silver - maintain both their FORS bronze and silver certification

    Promoting FORS standards - provide evidence of actively promoting the FORS standards to their supply chain in accordance with their silver written plan

    Staff training - implement their silver level plan for enhanced training and development of drivers and line managers emphasising work related road safety, environmental awareness and operational efficiency

    Performance measurement - make meaningful improvements against the FORS Silver baseline data in the following performance indicators:

    Fuel usage and by distances travelled
    Transport related CO2 output and by distance travelled
    Total incident and collision data and costs involving personal injury, vehicle or property damage
    Total transport related fines and charges
    Close proximity safety equipment - fit the entire heavy goods vehicle fleet with a close proximity 'blind-spot' warning system (such as a sensor or camera). This requirement is only applicable for heavy goods over 18t GVW vehicles travelling in urban areas

    Driver licence verification - ensure that the driving licences of all own and agency drivers are both verified with the Driver and Vehicle Licence Agency (DVLA), and assessed against an agreed risk rating scale

    Published case study - produce and publish a case study that describes the progression from FORS registration to the attainment of gold and demonstrates the improvements against all performance indicators
