The storms last week were terrible, if only because there is so little we can do to protect ourselves against the fury of the elements. The ultimate cost to industry and indeed road transport will be sky-high but the incalculable loss was that of three drivers, among others, for whom no actuarial figure can ever account. Our thoughts go out to their families and colleagues.
of publicity and a commitment to pursue those responsible whatever it took.
We dont begrudge that officer any attention they have our sympathy and respect. But is the life of a driver worth any less? Let's put aside our bickering with government about speed cameras and focus on what is important. Is enough being done to protect our drivers on the road -from other users, from road conditions or from themselves? It's the government's responsibility but it is ours too. You can replace a truck... you won't ever replace the person behind the wheel.
• This week sees the launch of the best information source UK road transport will ever have. Roadtransport.com won't replace your Commercial Motor, we'll still be offering a depth and authority unrivalled in the marketplace. But it will be a huge source of information at your fingertips: used vehicles, roadtests, legal analysis, news, blogs and jobs, based on and fed by CM and our stablemates Truck & Driver and Motor Transport. We think it's an unbeatable product from an unbeatable combination. Check out Roadtransport.com and let us know what you think.
