Dangerous Parking in Kent
Finding a safe place to park for a rest break can be tricky sometimes. Few movers would think it’s a good idea to park on the hard shoulder or a motorway slip road, but some HGV drivers obviously think it’s worth the risk.
Under pressure to take breaks at the right time can lead some drivers to avoid breaking one law, by breaking another.
In a two week period, Kent police moved on 327 lorries that were parked dangerously, of which 117 were fined.
Chief Inspector Vaghan Lukey, from Kent Police, said: “Our message is simple; long distance drivers should plan their journeys and factor in rest breaks at safe and legal locations.”
Fines can range from £50 to £1000.
