What the petition asks
To protect our Recovery Operators and Blue light services staff.
After a number of incidents involving Roadside Recovery Operators in 24 hours, resulting in a fatality and a serious crush injury, we encourage motorists on the approach to any incident involving Roadside workers including Blue light services to Slow Down, Move Over.
The use of Red flashing warning lights on the rear of Breakdown vehicles would also highlight the stationary vehicles in hazardous locations.
