Direct action dominates the news today, as the high price of diesel leads to the second London fuel protest in a month. This time, however, hauliers are only allowed access to Marble Arch by coach and must park up on the A40. Nonetheless, as protesters deliver official letters to Gordon Brown, organiser Transaction 2007 is confident that the protest highlights the 'depth of feeling' in the industry over fuel prices.
Talking of protests, French fishermen are once again bringing disruption to cross-Channel ferries - let's hope that the French truck drivers don't join them this time.
In other news, one of the Traffic Commissioners criticises the "lack of logic" in Vosa's decision to centralise its administration work, and the FTA says that problems caused by sat-nav systems directing trucks on to inappropriate roads could easily be solved - by offering a CV-specific option.
