Kate Cairns, sister of Eilidh Cairns who was tragically hit and killed by an HGV in Notting Hill in 2009 gives an insightful interview for the see me save me campaign.
In short:
- HGVs make up 3% of the fleet, but they are involved in 14% of fatal collisions
- 400 people a year in Europe die because of HGV blind spots
- These deaths could be prevented with practical and affordable technology. Adding cameras, lane departure warning systems and emergency braking systems are straighforward and affordable.
