• "I drove a Belgian-registered truck in the UK for four years and was caught many times by the speed cameras but I never heard anything about this. One day I sped past the pence with their speed guns but when they saw that I was in a foreign-registered truck they dropped the guns."
• "Many of the drivers In Ireland are Welsh as they come over to Ireland because the wages are better. The Welsh need to look in their own backyards because there are a number of companies there that have last their 0-licences for speeding offences."
II Retired driver Brian Leather says: "There needs to be a level playing field. There are not enough police to spot vehicles speeding and clamp down on them."
"The abuse that I take from these idiots [drivers of foreignregistered trucks] is second to none. The law seems to do nothing about it and yet these idiots stick out like a sore thumb, [they would be] so, so easy to catch. The majority of them have no number plate on their trailer."
