"The UK had a number of key political objectives. Firstly, it was vital to ensure that the UK would retain the right to veto the entry of any so-called 60 tonne/80 foot long ʽmegatrucksʼ onto British roads. This has been secured, and such ʽmegatrucksʼ will only be permitted to operate across borders where there are bilateral agreements between Member States.
Secondly, we were successful in retaining the existing right of trucks, higher than the permitted 4 metres, to operate between the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Finally, in terms of safer cab design, we successfully reached an agreement whereby new, safer, and more streamlined cab design in lorries will be introduced, following the agreement on the forthcoming Commission proposal on ‘type-approval’ legislation for lorries. This will give manufacturers a sufficient timeframe to improve their designs, which should eventually lead to safer vehicles, reducing the risk of death and injury to pedestrians and cyclists."@en1
