Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A WARNING that complacency on the t't part of operators of C licence vehicles was dangerous was issued by the president of the Traders Road Transport Association, Mr. K. C Turner, when he addressed the West Riding of Yorkshire Divisional Committee of the Association.

There was clear evidence, said Mr. Turner, of a growing volume of public opinion against the commercial vehicle which was being blamed for traffic congestion, noxious fumes and causing danger through insecure loads, to name only a few of the " crimes " laid at the door of the commercial vehicle.

To the private motorist fuming in a line of vehicles headed by a slow-moving truck it meant little that the truck was carrying a commodity essential to his

well-being. This attitude could condition the general public to accept restrictions on C-licensed vehicles which affected the economic distribution of goods to an alarming degree without any corresponding betterment of traffic conditions in densely populated areas.
