This petition aims to bring to the UK Government\'s attention the deadly consequences of diesel spills to scooter riders. The petition has been created to capture the signatures of the UK scooter riding population.
Other online petitions exist, and we encourage you to look at the KillSpills website and sign their petition if you prefer. However this petition has been created to solely capture the signatures of scooter riders.
Our intention is to present the signatures from this petition to the KillSpills team, so please don\'t sign both petitions.
The chances are you have been thrown off, know someone that has, or have nearly come off as a result of a diesel spill.
Scooter riders are some of the most all year round riders; the wet winter weather is the worst time for a diesel spill accident.
Evidence suggests that there are good products at local councils\' disposal to help reduce the problem; the products now need to be put into use.
Legislation against diesel spills already exists, we now need an education campaign to prevent them from happening in the first place.
The team at KillSpills have collected thousands of bikers
I am currently compiling the data from this petition to present to the KillSpills team. We are identifying specific local councils that have yet to implement the mitigation products mentioned in our proposal. Expect a summary of the next formal steps once we finalize the coordination of these advocacy efforts.

The growth of this petition reached a threshold that allows me to schedule a formal meeting with the Department for Transport. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines the specific products local councils should use to mitigate these spills. I will provide an update once the briefing documents are delivered.
