ROGER KING NEEDS to digest his own words before writing any more letters to the BBC. In "It's all about having respect" (CM 20 November), he says that the RHA is "made up of operators as opposed to drivers". Yet in his letter to the BBC, he claimed "more than half a million lorry drivers take great excep tion at such type casting".
If the RHA's members are operators and not drivers, then how does he claim to represent half a million of them? The operators might have taken "great exception", but — if the membership of the Ti-ucknetUK forums is representative of drivers as a whole — very few drivers did.

WITH REFERENCE TO the letter from the RHA.1 would like to point out that Mr Chequer was relaying the views of drivers from the TrucknetUK forums.
As one of the drivers who contributed to that discussion, I was not upset by Mr Clarkson's comments and found them amusing.
I would also like to enquire what the RHA has done for drivers From what I've seen, it's very little. The RHA is there for the interests of the bosses, and only does things about drivers when it suits the management. If the RHA had really been working for drivers as it claims, then its push for LHVs would have included some extra living room for the drivers Allison Pelt Driver
