Preparing for UK’s peak bridge strike season in October
In the UK, October each year sees the highest number of bridge strikes of any month. With an average of five strikes a day - which typically doubles in October - the British motoring association AA is calling for greater education for drivers and fleet managers to avoid the delays and damage that can be caused by such actions.
Furthermore, the AA is calling for HGV fleet managers to ensure that their vehicles are fitted with dedicated commercial satellite-navigation devices which are designed specifically for larger vehicles.
These commercial units identify the best routes for high-sided vehicles to take and highlight other useful information like low emission zones, load codes and toll routes. (ben)
