Hi Vue Fresnel Lens (A4)

Self-adhesive PVC anti-blind spot Fresnel Lens for Truck Nearside Window.

The Hi Vue Fresnel Lens press-fits inside the trucks nearside window and is held firmly on place by its own ‘peel-back’ self-adhesive.

The Fresnel lens provides an extra downwards view for the HGV driver so that at a glance they can see any vulnerable road user that might be hidden in the mirror blind spot, alongside his passenger door.

Unlike a mirror, Hi Vue Fresnel Lens affords the driver a normal, (through the window) view of what’s close to his vehicle, not a reversed or inverted mirror image. That means the driver will assimilate any danger much faster and react far more quickly.  

Fresnel lenses are now accepted as a very important safety aid for HGV drivers and so organisations such as Transport for London and Crossrial insist that trucks are fitted with lenses before being allowed to undertake transportation work on busy urban roads. 

This lens is recommended by the Department for Transport's - Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) and the Highways Agency

DVSA says, “Even the latest HGVs with a full complement of six mirrors, in compliance with the latest EU directive, still have blind spots to the passenger side which are large enough to hide a family saloon car. The solution is to fit a special Fresnel lens.”

DVSA has conducted trials which have proven that by fitting Fresnel lenses to vehicles, both the frequency and the severity of “sideswipe” accidents is reduced.
