The EU has Backed Vision for Buses and Trucks

The European Parliament has backed an option to try and give people a much safer driving journey. They are working hard to try and introduce brand new limitations that will stop people from driving trucks that are not safe. Those who work in driver recruitment Ireland, or even those who are looking for driving jobs Ireland will know how much of an impact this is going to have on the industry. Of course, if you work in a driving agency Ireland then this is also another huge consideration.

The new direct vision standard will help to reduce the amount of blind spots there are and it will also help both bus and truck drivers to be more safe on the road. Some people even hope that it will help them to become more aware of their vehicle and this could also stop accidents for cyclists as well. There are no rules in place at the moment for the amount of trucks that are on the road, let alone for the amount that are actually safe to drive. This new regulation is hoping to change that by making sure that every truck is safe. Research has shown time and time again that trucks that have low-entry cabs have brilliant driving vision and that they are also able to prevent a ton of road fatalities as well. One thousand cyclists die every single year in collisions and this is not good at all. More needs to be done about this, and if these changes are not put into place soon then there could be even more deaths. That being said, people are most certainly working hard to try and stop things like this from happening, there's just no way of telling how long it is going to be before an improvement is actually made.
