The vehicle was easy to spot and was stopped while it continued its journey. Now it was taken off the road once and for all and the goods were loaded onto another vehicle.

We wish all our readers a happy, relaxing Christmas season and for 2013, continuing improvements in load securing and the continued regular enjoyment of our column.
