COMMENT FROM THE RHA: Driver facilities campaign The RHA has expressed concern to the Department for Transport about a story in Commercial Motor last week regarding roadside facilities for drivers. DfT comes across as dismissive of the issue in a letter written to Gillian Kemp, of campaign group Truckers' Toilets UK. The RHA does not doubt the accuracy of the report. However, nor does it reflect the spirit of discussions the RHA is having with the DfT or the progress we anticipate making in this area. The RHA strongly supports Gillian Kemp in her campaign and we have firms plans to work together towards achieving significant improvements, not least through our engagement with DfT.

There are no facilities for truck drivers in the UK. UK authorities need to take a drive round europe at facilities provided in other member states. To see just how far UK is behind the rest of europe. It is next to impossible to park in the UK. Hardly any layby's. No toilets or showers. Security for trucks is the worst in the UK in the whole of the EU.
Many complain about trucks parking on hardshoulders and residential areas or taking a piss at the side of the road. Maybe these same people can let us know where we should park and where we can go to toilet. Maybe they could put a sign on their house, truck drivers welcome to use their toilet!
