IAM calls for end to ‘rip-off’ motorway service area prices

Van drivers have to stop to eat, drink and freshen up. It’s important to have a break every two hours but MSA costs put people off stopping

The IAM is calling for a complete review of motorway prices, together with filling stations being forced to advertise their own and their competitors’ fuel prices, as is in France.

IAM chief executive Simon Best told Business Vans: “Motorway service areas are supposed to be for drivers to eat, drink and freshen up. It’s very important to have a break every two hours and these costs will put people off stopping. Tired drivers pose a danger to themselves and other road users.”
