Lorries have significant blind spots where cyclists are invisible. Follow our tips below and use our 3D technology to find out how to protect yourself.

Tips

Cycle sensibly and assertively to help yourself stay safe.
Recognise that lorry drivers may not be able to see you
Never cycle up the left side of a lorry stopped at a junction
Look out for lorries turning left from beside or behind you
Don’t stop too close to the front of a stopped lorry

Take up a visible position at lights: three metres out in front and not by the left kerb or very close to the lorry
The image below shows the blind spots on all sides of the lorry.
