CAMPAIGN SUPPORT Your leader (CM, October 4) on the FTA/RHA

anti-speeding campaign rightly says that it should be welcomed. Transport 2000 has been delighted publicly to support the campaign which we see as evidence of a responsible attitude to a very serious matter.
You go on to suggest. however, that the world should perhaps be cynical, if it turns out that this is merely a device to put off tougher statutory controls. I think you are scraping around for a criticism here (and this may be the only time you find me defending either the ETA or the RI-IA!).
It is the job of organisations like these to seek to prevent regulation of their members, and if the RHA and PTA are trying to do it by getting hauliers to clean up their act, that is vastly preferable to claiming (as they so often have in the past) that the problem doesn't exist.
I very much hope that this campaign is successful; if it is, then people's lives will be saved and Parliament will be saved time passing yet more laws. If it doesn't work, Transport 2000 will he at the front of the queue demanding urgent and effective legal restraints.
Susan Hoyle Executive Director Transport 2000
