Barrie Gill and Gordon Wilkins cover the world of motoring.
with Maxwell Boyd, Judith Jackson, Michael Frostick, Judith Jackson

Motoring holidays abroad will be more expensive in 1972 because fares across the Channel and insurance Green Cards are going up in price. Are these higher costs fair? The motoring adventure of 1972 will be an attempt in Range Rovers to cross the Darien Gap - 200 miles of ravines, swamp, and jungle - which is the last barrier to a highway between North and South America. At home, the New Year will see more lorries of 30 tons and over coming on to British roads. What impact will they have on pedestrians, buildings, and the private cars which have to share the road with them?
