Diesel spills
Hundreds of motorcycle accidents every year could be prevented if drivers stopped over filling their fuel tanks. The RAC Foundation launched a campaign last year which demanded that trucks or vans that spill diesel onto the road should be pulled over and prevented from driving until their vehicles are fixed. Motorcyclists are also being encouraged to report any vehicle that spills fuel onto the road so that the police can deal with it appropriately.

Edmund King, executive director of the RAC Foundation, claimed:

 "More care by the drivers of diesel cars and particularly heavy goods vehicles and public service vehicles would be an easy way to help reduce motorcycle accidents.

 "Brimming, the practice of filling the tank to the very top and then not ensuring that it is securely fastened with a proper filler cap, almost inevitably results in a diesel spill. That can result in skidding, and possible death, for any following rider. All too often one can see overfilled vehicles spilling diesel at roundabouts and on corners. These vehicles should be reported to the police as they are leaving the roads in a treacherous state for bikers."
