Law & Order is being shattered and lives being taken by terrorists at increasing frequency across Europe, by use of - garbage collection trucks, beer delivery lorries and similar large vehicles - as deadly weapons.
We live in the age of CCTV watching and computers recording everything. 100s of CCTV cameras and linked computers automatically bill me for Congestion Charge every time I drive into Central London. Proof that technology exists to monitor all vehicles inside busy urban areas, when the government wants to collect taxes. Now it's time for the government to urgently consider adapting this or similar technologies to protect the same tax payers.
This petition requests:
1. Urban road-user surveylence technology adapted to monitor Heavy Vehicles, to spot danger immediately, and installing emergency engine disable & alarm devices to render the vehicle useless in case of hijack or theft.
2. Strict policy to allow such heavy vehicle movement only between 1am and 6am, in the early hours of the morning well before the typical school and office rush hour starts in most cities. And for them to be safely parked where they belong by 7am, a penalty charge for late stoppers between 6am and 7am, and an even stricter action if such vehicle remain in motion post 7am when it's close to the start of school rush.
3. In residential areas for house move etc needs of the people - more thoughts about how to ensure that safety is the first priority.
We want the government to safeguard human lives in urban dwelling areas from the real and present danger of large delivery lorries and trucks being used as deadly weapons.
We request the government to protect its citizens by:
1. Strict surveylence of movement of all such potential risk vehicles, inside city boundaries and beyond on motorways etc.
2. Strict limitation on their movement in urban areas, which should be outside of normal waking and busy hours. They should only be allowed to move inside the city between 1am and 6am with security devices, alarms and cut off rules.
3. Smaller size White Vans or similar to be used for essential needs of people like house moves or similar. Companies that give such vehicles on rent, to be directly run or managed by a government agency. Ensuring they are secure at all times and have limited use just for genuine needs.
