lpv:spoken text	"Far too many lives have been lost on our roads due to unsafe lorry designs. Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) are involved in nearly a quarter of all cycling fatalities in the UK but make up less than 5 % of road traffic. This cannot continue. Relaxing length restrictions for lorries in the EU will enable lorry manufacturers to design safer and more aerodynamic vehicles, including through rounded cab fronts, crumple zones and improved visibility. These are small changes but they will make an enormous difference to safety on our roads. The Commission has been tasked with coming up with details of the safer design requirements by the end of 2016. This could see the introduction of safer lorries by 2020 if the legislation is fast-tracked through the EU decision-making process. The pressure now has to be kept up to ensure that these safer designs are proposed and implemented as soon as possible."@en1
