Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Mercedes-Benz has recently commissioned a top German men's clothes designer, Heinz Oestergard, to produce a selection of truck drivers' outfits.

Before putting pen to paper Oestergard travelled hundreds of miles as a co-driver in a long-distance truck under normal operating conditions. He experienced all the situations that are normally faced during the course of a working day, sleeping in the cab, visiting motorway restaurants, repairing the vehicle in all weathers and, last but not least, sitting for hours in the cab while driving.

The result is an extremely practical combination of a number of individual items of clothing which can be varied to suit any kind of condition.

The new designs, illustrated below, will be available to all drivers (regardless of the vehicles they drive) from Mercedes-Benz (Great Britain) Ltd, Great West Road, Brentford, Middx.
