Gordon Wilkins covers the world of commercial transport.

One in every four vehicles on the roads during the working week is a lorry. Police checks suggest that many of them are defective or dangerous. The risk of a £200 fine for bad brakes or overloading is the background to the International Commercial Motor Show which the Minister of Transport, Mrs. Barbara Castle was due to open at Earls Court today.
