ALL political parties arc equally ignorant and dangerous with regard to legislation affecting traders' vehicles. This lesson has been learnt in the past few months, and it is more than ever necessary for C-licence operators to safeguard their interests.
These comments were made by Col. Arthur Jerrett, president of the Traders' Road Transport Association, at the annual dinner of the West Midland Division last week.
The average politician, said Col. Jerreif, did not know what a C licence was, and this matched the ignorance of the general public. Every means for transport had become a plaything of the politicians. This applied even to municipal transport which, with all other forms, should be removed from political influence.
