TruckSafe [A DVD on child cycling safety around trucks in the Hawke's Bay, NZ]

This DVD was made in 2004 as a result of concern among professional truck drivers and the general public about the safety of child cyclists around large trucks in the Hawke's Bay after several incidents of death and serious injury to cyclists. It was made with help from: the Road Safety Trust, the New Zealand Police, Hawke's Bay trucking/ transport companies and Havelock North Intermediate. It includes 'chapters' on: drivers' direct visibility and mirror visibility of child cyclists - blind spots, trucks making left turns - blind spots and the chance of the trailer moving in over the curb (and crushing an unseen bike), the air blast from trucks and roundabout blind spots. The mother of a boy killed while riding a bicycle is also briefly interviewed.
