Never realised just how big the blind-spots are on a LGV and how they differ on an artic.
sorry for being about 3 yrs behind with this etc.. i dont use lappy when driving unlike the population of poles/czechs/hungaro's... you get the picture.
LGV = large goods vehicle. HGV = heavy goods vehicle
I've no idea what the difference is either.I only drive them.
Very good TFL video, shows BOTH parties should LOOK for eachother.

Mayor's QT:
*TfL short video for HGV drivers and cyclists*
*Question No: 2816 / 2009*
John Biggs
How successful has TfL been in disseminating this educational video to companies that operate HGVs? Would you consider supporting an initiative that made the showing of this short video to all HGV drivers in London obligatory?
*Answer from the Mayor:*
I do not have the powers to make the showing of the video to HGV drivers obligatory.
The video is however a fundamental educational tool and it is playing a key role. Specifically designed to raise awareness of the dangers both HGV drivers and cyclists face, it was launched on-line on 15 July.
There have already been 28,000 visitors to the relevant Cycling safety page (_http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/11687.aspx_).
Also, TfL’s Freight Operator Recogniton Scheme (FORS) programme itself is key to educating HGV drivers and operators of the importance of safety as it provides members with practical ways to promote road safety and reduce HGV & cyclist collision, amongst other initiatives.
