• A transport training company has written to Transport Secretary Cecil Parkinson urging him to introduce compulsory registration and to outlaw cowboy HGV training companies.
Walsall-based S Jones Transport Service Group claims there is an increase in the number of 'cowboy' training companies, which run old vehicles from home without classroom facilities or off-road manoeuvring areas.
"A scheme similar to the AD1 scheme for car instructors would ensure higher standards and would make HGV instruction a profession, not simply a shortcut to a fast buck," says S
Jones' training manager John Murray. "It is very disturhin that there are many drivers Britain's roads who have bee taught by such schools."
