• Not one truckstop visited as part of an RNA project into overnight parking security could be described as 100A secure.

David Lowe, of Dunlop Tyres' vehicle and load security department. visited 65 sites in the UK for his Lorry Parking report. He says that while nearly all had fences or guards, trucks could "come and go as they pleased" without being checked. "I wouldn't even keep an old car in these sites," says Lowe. Only 10 truckstops are described in the report as being "good" in terms of security— and they still had shortcomings.

He is calling for hauliers to mount a campaign to encourage truckstop owners to improve security.
