What the petition asks
Recovery Operators have one of the most dangerous jobs when working on the side of a road either repairing or/& Recovering broken down vehicles, especially on the side of motorways.
We require a similar law to that in America to where motorists see Amber Flashing lights on the Motorways and Dual Carriageways, they have to move over to another lane to provide Recovery Operators safer working areas, to try and prevent further injuries and deaths within the Recovery Industry!
Remember the RAC Guy who was in the refuge area loading up a vehicle to his Compact Recovery Trailer and was critically injured when a truck swerved and run him over! We need to have be safer areas!
