The Campaign

The campaign, “The Road Users Campaign to Kill Diesel Spills - www.killspills.org.uk is being run by a group of riders for the safety of all road users and was started in October 2003.

The main aims of the campaign are to raise public awareness and eventually make a real difference with possible changes to legislation and fuel tank/cap design, together with a programme of educating drivers and riders as to the dangers of diesel.

In September 2004, the Kill Spills Campaign held a rally in London, with over 750 riders, to deliver a petition to Downing Street containing 10,146 signatures. In 2005 the second rally attracted an estimated 2500 riders showing their support for the KillSpills campaign despite the rain.

MAG's Director of Public Affairs, Trevor Baird, says, "MAG came on board with the campaign from the very start. The campaign has reinforced our own long-standing position on diesel spillages and has led MAG to produce thousands of diesel awareness stickers which will be placed on lorry diesel tanks and diesel pumps". However, the group is still meeting resistance from forecourt staff, supermarket chains and oil companies to the use of the stickers.

These stickers are available by contacting MAG Central Office.
