Anybody seen the article in the Express today about the ministry road side checks and truck drivers?.

2

No sorry

I was trying to be diplomatic. As the article is mostly about foreign truckers breaking driving hours regulations and getting away with it ; as they can’t be traced. And the ministry not sure in some cases if they even have a valid licence.

So the Express listened to Radio 4 aswell. :laughing:
Well I suppose it save’s leaving the office and perhaps getting out of London :open_mouth: to follow up a story.

I got stopped last week by the ministry on the A236 by Croydon. They checked everything, as usual, then proceeded to ask me THREE TIMES if I had a class 1 license.I started to get a bit shouty back at him, he then turned round & said that I looked a bit shifty & that he didnt believe me! :open_mouth: :confused: :open_mouth:
