slow down move over

We have been in the recovery industry for over 28 years. I used to go out with my dad when I was younger, and as soon as I got my driving license at 17, I was out on recoveries. There was none of this 'it's too heavy for that vehicle', if it went on, you took it even if it was going a long distance.

The recovery industry was not recognized; we were just a garage with a recovery truck. Thankfully, times have changed, and for the better. In my opinion, the one thing that is still lacking is roadside safety. As a recovery operator, you know the dangers of working at the roadside and on motorways/dual carriageways. We put ourselves at risk every day to help the motoring public. If workmen are cutting the hedges on the highways, you get cushion protection behind you on the hard shoulder. We don't!

This needs to change and there are people in our industry who are working hard to get us recognised and I thank them for that. The slowdown mover group is another fantastic way of making other road users aware of us and this needs to be pushed in the United Kingdom. In America, slowing down mover over is a big thing, if you don't slow down and move over you can be prosecuted, it's the law and It needs to be law in the UK.
