Fit all Heavy or Large Vehicles with Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS)
Horrific HGV accidents happen constantly. Automatic emergency braking systems could prevent many deaths.
Humans are subject to fatigue, 'highway hypnosis', sudden medical problems and distractions. Automatic emergency brakes are not subject to any of these problems. According to Campaign For Better Transport: More than half (52%) of fatal accidents on motorways involve HGVs but only 10% of motorway vehicles are HGVs. HGVs are also involved in 1 in 5 fatal crashes on A and minor roads, and its worsening each year. Let's reverse this trend and use technology to prevent more deaths.
