20:12 Practical advice for drivers on the road
21:46 How the quiet shift away from motorways began
Motorway fuel and overnight parking are costing drivers more than money — they are costing them time, choices and sleep.
I look at why lorry drivers are changing where they fuel and stop, from diesel passing £2 a litre to crowded parking areas, expensive overnight charges and the pressure of drivers’ hours rules. I also examine the problems at seven motorway service areas across England and what makes each one difficult for drivers.
I then explain why bigger tanks, price information, cash flow and the shortage of lorry parking are changing the way drivers plan their nights out. I finish with practical advice on fuel range, alternative stops, parking charges and avoiding the temptation to run a tank too low.
