We are proud to announce support from one of the automotive leaders Green Flag to help bring awareness and safety. Damon Jowett Head of Service Delivery at Green Flag: "Green Flag never underestimate the valuable job people in the breakdown recovery industry, emergency services and road maintenance industry do and the vulnerable position they place themselves in everyday to keep the UK moving 24/7. We realise drivers not slowing down and moving over as they approach a temporary hazard is a major concern and often the cause of many avoidable collisions. The work that Slow Down Move Over is doing to raise awareness of the issue is something that Gre…

Thank you to Essex Police for coming out and protecting me on a recovery on a duel carriage way called the A131 in Essex UK. The vehicle I was recovering was on the grass as we have no hard shoulder on most of our roads in the area, and if I pulled on to the grass I would sink as it has been raining a lot. Managed the situation and took the keys off he lady for her Dodge Nitro with a banging noise from the engine as she could get a lift home in another car. This little clip is 15 minutes squashed to 60 seconds! Its from the rolling road block load and to a place of safety to strap the vehicle down. (there is music to the video) Be safe as you can…

Yesterday afternoon I was assisting a broken down vehicle on a major road in Essex called the A12. The police vehicle was protecting me in lane one. But two vehicles decided to go round the police car and come back into lane one. Police officers had some words to say to the drivers.

This year, a low key event which allowed a maximum of 1000 trucks ... The whole affair felt a bit strange with half of the bars and restaurants closed or offering a restricted service or menu ... But...It was goo…

Jaguar driver found car being removed after parking in disabled bay - so he jumped inside and got towed with it A Jaguar driver who found his car being removed got into the vehicle and ended up being towed with it. The motorist had parked their Jaguar XF sports car in a disabled bay on St Mary's Street. Instead of accepting the penalty, the driver took matters into his own hands, and jumped inside the car while it was attached to the tow truck. Police were called to the scene in a bid to talk the driver round, but he still refused to get out of the car. Pictures from the scene show a number of police officers sur…

Article released in Motor Transport Magazine A campaign to highlight the dangers recovery operators face at the roadside is stepping up a gear after receiving “an underwhelming level of response” from MPs. ‘Slow Down Move Over’ (SDMO) was set up four years ago by recovery operator Paul Anstee in an effort to educate the public about what action is required in the event of their vehicle breaking down in order to keep themselves safe. SDMO is also aimed at educating road users to be aware of temporary hazards and to raise awareness of those working at the roadside. Mr Anstee said the government’s insistence on building Smart motorways was increasing the …
