Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

of the Licensing Authorities, including Mr. S. W. Nelson in the Western Area, and Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon in the North, that contractors and commercial firms could be prosecuted as aiders and abettors in cases of overloading, misuse of licences and employing unlicensed vehicles, seem to have borne fruit.

A number of the big steel companies and, other industrial firms, particularly in the North East, now insist on hauliers' vehicles being put over a weighbridge after loading.

The extension of this practice would be an excellent thing from the point of view of the law-abiding haulier, for it would check the practice of offering cut rates for return loads—and in some -cases outward traffic—and making up the difference by over-loading.
