“Changing Places” event for Cyclists

Cyclists are being invited by City of London Police to “change places” with HGV drivers, and learn more about how they use the road. The event is being held at Finsbury Circus from 7.30am to 11.30am on Wednesday 20th May, and will allow cyclists to take the drivers seat in a heavy good vehicle and get a better understanding of a driver’s experience on the road, including learning about blind spots. It’s hope that the session will improve the safety of cyclists who share road space with HGVs.

‘Changing Places’ is a joint initiative between the City of London Police force’s Road Policing Unit and the Metropolitan Police Traffic Partnership Unit.
