The HGV Taskforce at work

Caroline joined the London HGV Taskforce on Wednesday 16th April to see first hand the work they do in making our streets safer for all road users including cyclists and pedestrians.

The team carry out detailed checks on lorries on London's Streets and pick up many issues from the security of the goods being carried in the lorry to threadbare tyres, drivers not taking their breaks and overloaded vehicles.

"It was very interesting to see how many dangers there are on the roads and how serious many can be. It is clear to me that we will need tougher rules to make vehicles safer on our streets" commented Caroline.
