Just yesterday Biglorryblog posted a blog all about Scania's new blindspot mirror retrofit programme and no doubt many promptly responded by saying; "That's all very well BLB but I run Volvos!". Well it certainly prompted that 'Towering Titan of Truck PR' at Volvo, i.e. Nigel Hanwell to admonish me and send me this information for operators of the 'other' Swedish truck marque..."Hi Brian, further to your blog on Scania mirror compliance, I would refer you to this Volvo Vision page.
Nigel goes on to say: "Note that Volvo Trucks have promoted this since Oct 13th. It's all explained on the attached handy leaflet or download a .pdf from the website above. We even offer a handy tool to check the curvature of existing mirrors - although you can use the cut away section of downloadable leaflet to do the same. See attached 'how to' guide."
And here it is in action.....now click through here for an appalling pun that only Nigel would have the nerve to deliver...
"Says a contented Volvo customer 'Since I read this leaflet, I've never looked back!'....Cheers, Nigel." See what I mean?
And don't forget there's a big feature all about the new regs, as well as a special test and suggestion on how to cover those bindspot in CM 24th July 2008. You can get a back issue by calling our back-numbers dept on 01371 851800
On reflection, I think it's a terrible pun (geddit?).
