UK Stopped Mowing To Be Greener - Motorists Say Roads Are More Dangerous Because Of It

No Mow May, the campaign to discourage grass mowing and encourage plant life, has been branded 'No mow may die' by motorists concerned about the reduction in visibility they claim is caused by overgrown grass, flowers and plants on verges. 

 

In June, Colin Dear, a motorist who lives near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, went a step further when he mowed a section of verge he claimed had become overgrown, causing several near misses involving cars.
