Most truck drivers don't want to stay away for £25k. That may be the problem.Originally posted by d000hg View PostIt's hard enough getting people to be truck drivers without telling them they can only drive at night.

No its too many vehicles on the motorways at peak time. Maybe we can set day tolls for cars?
Driving at 10pm is normally easy.Comment

Agreed. It could put a pressure on employers but despite far more flexibility on working hours you still typically have to arrive in the morning and leave early evening. WFH is a big help but we're already seeing employers push back on that.Originally posted by ladymuck View Post

And a part of road busyness is also the school run - again not really avoidable how many kids are traveling, only how they travel.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
