ITO - See Me Save Me

See Me Save Me has been launched on the 5th February 2012, on the third anniversary of the death of Eilidh Cairns. Three years and 50 deaths after Eilidh was run over and killed by a lorry, families and campaigners unite to call for the elimination of lorry blind spots with the launch of a new campaign website See Me Save Me

See Me Save Me is dedicated to reducing lorry danger and saving lives, co-ordinated by RoadPeace, the national charity for road crash victims. Read the press release here

This map shows fatalities and serious injuries to pedestrians and cyclists in Great Britain in road traffic collisions between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2010, highlighting those which involved an HGV (a vehicle with a a gross combination mass of over 3,500kg).

Cyclists are shown using dark and light pink, with pedestrians represented using dark or light grey. Darker colours are used for collisions that included at least one HGV, light colours for those that did not.

Fatalities are shown using a square tile with the casualty's age in the top left, the year of the crash in the bottom left and gender indicated using a symbol for a man, woman, girl or boy (using a smaller symbol for children those under 16). Serious injuries are show using smaller circles.
