16th of December towing rules

[muttley9050]

7.5 toners would be nice but there is enough uproar about parking a ford transit in the street in some places.. will probably be short lived anyway as they will probably ban all diesel vehicles and plant with engines in two years time any way.

Better not. Just booked me test.

There were 67% more trailer accidents pre 97 compared to last year.

I dont think it was for the furloughed years that would just be when the report came out / published. 

Also my last year comment totally ignores the covid period. 

I will try to find the report again to see if it actually mentions the dates.

It might have been a ministers summarising statement that I am quoting.

 

In addition to the 67% reduction traffic & trailer use has risen so the 67% is actually more per mile driven.

 

From memory other accident stats went down about 20% less so road safety & vehicle improvements dont account for all of the reduction. 

 

If you also take into account that the training & testing really only took off in the last 5-7 years so there was still a long way to go to get the majority of drivers qualified the reduction is quite significant.

It was a reply that Baroness Vere gave & she referenced the 2019 accident stats.

No worries.

 

Used to hate clients like that, now I would be happy to have any clients at all.

Not to mention far better tech and standards of cars/4x4’s these days.

Funny, when I asked you for this on another thread you said there was no statistics on this.

Prob before I saw the baronesses very recent reply. I knew we had more recent data in the 2018 trailer report but had never seen data pre 97.
