Challenges in the Vehicle Recovery & Roadside Assistance Industry
The recovery vehicle industry faces several unique challenges that can lead to safety risks and operational inefficiencies, including:
- Roadside Assistance Hazards: Operating on busy roads exposes operators to high-speed traffic, increasing accident risks.
- Night-Time Operation Risks: Limited visibility in low-light conditions can heighten dangers for operators and other road users.
- Reversing Accidents: Common in confined spaces, such as urban streets or service areas, due to blind spots.
- Collisions During Vehicle Loading: The complexity of manoeuvring recovery vehicles and securing stranded vehicles can lead to incidents.
- False Insurance Claims: Operators are frequently targeted by fraudulent claims, causing financial and legal complications.
- Vulnerable Road Users: Recovery vehicles often operate in close proximity to pedestrians and cyclists, increasing the risk of collisions.
