DRIVERS of slow-moving vehicles, such as tractors, are being asked to pull into lay-bys more often to allow motorists to get past safely.
Concern has been raised to Gloucestershire police about slow-moving tractors holding up traffic along the A40 Gloucester to Ross-on-Wye road, and causing long tailbacks.
This risks tempting motorists to overtake when it is not safe to do so.
PC Richard Simpson, of Forest Local Policing Area, said:
“When tractors and other slow moving vehicles don’t pull over when they have the chance to do so, in order to let traffic past, they can cause obstructions and long tailbacks, and they may be committing offence.”
