Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

all modes of transport, there's precious little indication that its stance on LHVs has changed as a result of the change of government. However, for his part, LHV enthusiast Dick Denby is cheered by the results of the Dutch study. He says: "The study seems to suggest that familiarity seems to relax anxiety [among the public]." He is still in the dark over the new government's intentions but takes the view, though, that movement elsewhere in Europe on the issue may eventually force the government's hand. Stan Robinson, another vocal supporter of LHVs, adds: "Whenever I go to Road Haulage Association meetings, other hauliers always ask me when they are going to be allowed on the roads because they believe they need them.

"It's up to us to get together as an industry and look at ways of saving fuel and saving money — and LHVs offer that potential."

He also believes a modal shift from rail to road is unlikely if their widespread use was permitted.
