I'm a Class 1 British driver, currently unemployed, and I take offence at John Heads' comments about the lack of professionalism among the country's driving force ("Are British drivers a waste of space?", CM 23-29 October).
I don't get drunk or fight in bars I've got too much brains for that. I didn't even do that while I was in the army!
When I first started driving in the 1970s. a bit of that sort of thing went on— but it's very much the exception now
I suspect Eurcihaui is like a number of companies I know which don't know a good driver when he stares them in the face. They're simply picking up young drivers who are not experienced in international work, and when they foul up they turn to foreigners.
Why not the elder statesmen of the profession?
These bosses are asking for everything they get. Name & address supplied.
