London Liberal Democrat MEP Sarah Ludford is protesting against a European Commission research report which claims there is not enough evidence to justify fitting blind-spot sensors or cameras on big lorries (HGVs) to protect cyclists.
Sarah Ludford works with the ‘See me Save me’ campaign inspired by the death of Eilidh Cairns who was knocked off her bike and killed by a lorry in Notting Hill in 2009, and which aims to eliminate blind spots. As part of the campaign Sarah supported a European Parliament Written Declaration (similar to an Early Day Motion) calling for blind-spot technology such as sensors and cameras to be fitted on HGVs.

Sarah Ludford has welcomed the launch of a campaign by The Times to ‘save our cyclists’ while noting all the work that Liberal Democrats are already doing to make cycling less dangerous.
She has been an active campaigner on road and especially cyclist safety since she was an Islington Councillor, and is supportive of the ‘See me, Save me’ campaign which was started by the mother of Eilidh Cairns who was tragically killed when she was knocked off her bike by a lorry on her way to work in London 2009.
