That is the message from the AA in relation to the lack of salt available and being scattered across the UK roads during this excessive winter period. The AA has concerns that the roads are just too dangerous to drive in these conditions and with limited salt reserves available, the argument is about road safety.
It is claimed the government is trying to improve the logistics of salt reserves, in better words where stocks are high and have had less snowfall against those areas that are clearly running out.
The AA insists that more roads should be gritted now in order to reduce insurance claims and the potential loss of life or danger to drivers and pedestrians. This became national news yesterday, broadcast especially from the ITV.
The AA has reported this lack of salt issue also from their site.
