Heavy Goods Vehicles
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether there are plans to introduce retrospective measures to require heavy goods vehicles to fit blind spot mirrors or cameras.
- Answer
-
We understand the European Commission is developing a proposal for a directive that would require the existing heavy vehicle fleet to be equipped retrospectively with mirrors (or cameras) offering the same vision capability as will be required of all new heavy vehicles entering into service after January 2007. The Commission has as yet not discussed this issue with member states so no details are available.
