Our local Member of European Parliament is proposing a change to EU legislation to have HGVs fitted with sensors and cameras to remove their blind spots with Written Declaration (WD) 81. “We have a ready-made letter, which is translated, along with the actual WD, into all 23 languages across the EU.”
The action that you can take to urge your MEP to back the proposed legislation is as follows: PLEASE email the letter to ALL of your MEPs ASAP. It will take less than 2 minutes.
