With regards the survey, do what I did on those questions. Put N/A, it,ll let you complete it and you'll get the chance to say your answering as a cyclist.

Legislation is the only way this could be implemented. But it would need to be EU legislation. Even then it would probably only apply to new vehicles as trying to do retrospectively would be a massive undertaking.

Coming in 2015 & further measures in by 2019. In the meantime, we sit & wait?

How to re-write history...

Cynthia got the company on board by buying shares, turning up at the AGM and telling her story. RMC/Cemex would not have made the changes they have without Cynthia's actons - and she has still had to push them...

We know the story but they still did not have to do anything had they not chosen to do so. They are now involved ia all sorts of cycle safety schemes and talks, which they have initiated themselves.

That is what they deserve credit for.

It's probably simple to design a mechanism to draw up the side protection for off road use. Unfortunately like other life saving concepts its probably not financially viable enough for any private company to research and design it.

It cost Cemex £1700 per vehicle, to fit to 3,000 vehicle's.
System activated on the correct side, nt use of the indicators. Given that many vehicles have crash cams already fitted, what would it cost to fit the proximity alarms?
