Product Information
The Fresnel Lens is a visual device for lorry drivers and is not a mirror in the conventional sense.
It is a clear thin plastic lens that is press fitted to a lorry window on the near, or passenger side.
Its concentric ring surface allows the driver to see through it directly.
However its optical properties provide a downwards view close to and around the lorry’s passenger door.
The Fresnel Lens therefore covers the blind spot which frequently is the cause of collisions between lorries and cyclists.
Left hand drive vehicles should fit the Fresnel Lens on the off side of the vehicle.
Motorway lane changing collisions involving lorries and cars is increasing in the UK. This has led to a rise in road casualties and road congestion.
A major initiative by the Department of Transport, VOSA, and the Highways Agency to tackle 'side-swiping' incidents by issuing 130,000 Fresnel lenses to left-hand drive trucks entering through
UK ports has resulted in a remarkable reduction of 59% in this type of serious motorway lane changing collisions.
