Safety measures for roadside mechanics should be reviewed following the death of a Ferndown man while he was trying to restart a car on the A31 near Ringwood.

A coroner, during an inquest into fifty-eight year old Terry Booth's death in June 2008 held yesterday, says the use of portable jump-lead packs as opposed to extra-long leads should be looked at by the Health and Safety Executive.

Mister Booth, who wasn't able to park in the industry recommended position, was run down by Susan Lowe, a sixty-two year old from Leeds who's since been jailed for causing death by dangerous driving.
