I did not see, or perhaps understand the percentage total of foreign trucks against British trucks, perhaps 60% of accidents involving trucks were foreign and the rest british?
any clues
Probably the remaining 40% of british trucks that were involved in accidents were also driven by foreign truck drivers. One of the UK's largest supermarkets were very keen to employ eastern European truck drivers (and I use the term truck drivers loosely). These eastern European drivers have never sat the same test that GB and myself did, instead some of them were awarded these licenses for driving farm tractors and others just bought a licence without having ever sat in a real lorry in their life.
When said supermarkets accident damage in one depot went up by about £27,000 a month I think it should have been ringing alarms bells but, it didn't.
