Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE package is launched this month for Road Haulage Association members. It is aimed specifically to benefit the smaller haulier.

The package incorporates a limit to Elm for damage to third-party property against the present norm of only £250,000.

The new scheme is known as the RHA Hauliers' Insurance Package and its objective is to feature broad cover without increase in premium.

On the motor side there is now a redesigned policy with unlimited loading and unloading cover, a 50 per cent no-claim bonus (against 40 per cent elsewhere), and a 20 per cent discount introductory offer. Tipping risk is automatically included in the flat rate.

Ernest A. Notcutt and Co has devised a goods-in-transit section offering more flexibility when it comes to accepting certain loads. The normal seven-day temporary storage limit is increased to 28 days, and the common law liability has been doubled from £25,000 to £50,000. Cover for the loss of sheets and ropes is quadrupled to £1000, as is cover for debris and removal charges.

Trailers will also now be insured within this section of these agreements, whether they are attached or not. The policies offer personal accident and sickness benefits and "loss of hgv licence" caused by such There is loss of personal effects benefits for drivers, while men of up to 65 years of age can claim for sickness benefit where previously the limit was 60. Gone also are most of the total exclusion clauses against recurrent illnesses.

THE Freight Transport Association is offering the FTA Drivers' Handbook and its new publication Tachographs — The Regulations to form a special offer pack. Costing El for the two, the publications are restricted to FTA members only. Discounts are available for large orders.
