We are having a large-scale power shutdown at Roadtransport Towers this weekend, which means that you will not be able to add comments to entries on any of the Roadtransport.com blogs over the Bank Holiday weekend. The blogs themselves will still be available to read, but there will be no new entries or comments until Monday.

The blogs affected are:
The Road Transport Blog
BigLorryBlog
The Truck & Van Blog
The Operators' Blog
The Transport Law Blog
The World Trucks Blog

Meanwhile, have a great weekend.

As anticipated the DfT has today published the next consultation document on graduated fixed penalty, financial deposit and immobilisation schemes, together with 8 draft statutory instruments to introduce the schemes. The consultation will run until 17 October 2008. More details and comment to follow in due course. Please see previous blog entries for further comment.
