Instruct kent council to remove HGV lay-by ban! Across the county.
We need the government to step in and overturn kent council decision to ban any heavy good vehicles from using lay-bys! They have banned them 24/7.
Truck driver need places to pull over that is safe and sometimes quickly aka such as a lay-by. To ban them from them 24/7 is competely wrong.
BY law Uk truck drivers are required to take breaks from driving without it you have a lot of tired truck drivers which is dangerous.
They have listed 10 truck stops/services where we can stop! this will not work as services and truck stops are already over flowing often onto the motorway slip road!
A truck may need stop just as much if not more then a car driver for number of reasons, by putting these rules in place kent council is encouring truckers to break driving laws for what reason?
