THE heavy haulage group of the Road Haulage Association has objected to a letter circulated by the Surrey Constabulary, which is seeking to ban the movement of abnormal and indivisible loads during the hours of darkness and rush hours.
The group feels this is an unreasonable P1 opos a I.
Another matter that concerns the group is the statement from the Greater London Council that all London boroughs should be notified when abnormal loads are to be carried through their boroughs. The group feels that only the GLC: should be informed. THE fifth edition of " Road Traffic Offences" by G. S. Wilkinson is to be published on December 15 at a price of 65s. postage paid.
