SPANISH FLYER • Lorry drivers going into Spain through Irun face long delays at customs, warns the International Road Transport Union. Customs officers, however, have introduced a novel scheme to beat the queues. A motorbike rider collects documents from drivers while they wait, takes them to the customs office and returns them to the lorry. Drivers are then free to drive on. This optional service costs 200 pesetas.
