Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Roadworics, unhelpful warehouse staff at distribution centres, breakdowns. All causes of more delays than you could—and probably do—shake your fist at. However, spare a thought for poor driver John Taylor who was trapped In his cab for over 10 hours after a swarm of bees landed on his truck.

Taylor was happily parked up at Exeter services on the M5 when, to his horror, thousands of honey bees began descending upon his vehicle. lie called the police for help at 9pm and, after being referred to the local council's pest control department, was told to sit tight until the bees got bored and went looking for expensive motorway service area food or a copy of Readers' Hives or something.

Unfortunately for John the bees remained on his truck until 7.30am the next day before 'buzzing off°, allowing him to emerge from his cab without being stung... until he went to the MSA restaurant, that is.
