• It was good to see that despite the bad press that truck driver Vincent Parsons gave the transport industry last week we also had reports of a driver commended for bravery.
I'm referring to Alastair Insch from St Helens who stopped a runaway car on the M53 with his truck (CM 25 June-1 July). Insch has been presented with a bravery award by Merseyside police, It's a shame that the trade associations failed to publicise his heroic act — it would at least have been something to balance the "anti-juggernaut" feeling justifiably felt by the people of this country when they read about Parsons' terrible irresponsibility.
Although Parsons killed six people when he ploughed into a line of traffic on the M42, how many lives did Insch save? G Jones Brongest, Dyfed.
