HGV licences - Collos25

There was an article this weekend about Willi Betz who are the largest haulage company in Europe the owner is in prison at the moment one of his offences was for buying HGV licences from the old eastern block countries for his drivers.These licences were readily available to anyone for a modest sum and then could be exchanged for a German licence or in fact any EU member states licence the point being how many drivers are now driving on these licences as they cannot be revoked even if they could discover them as to all intent they are genuine bits of paper gestimate is in the many thousands.Frightening.
