OT: Lady Drivers, UK Government Proposals?

[Gary]

Hello,

I often read the Metro on the train, and in Mondays edition (I think), I read an article saying the
government is considering banning HGV drivers & Female Drivers from certain roads during certain
times. I do not believe this for a second, but I am curious why a newspaper would print such a story
without good reason.

Anyone else heard rumours of this nature?

Thanks,

Gary.

HGV drivers? Ah, trucks. It's absolutely not out of the question to ban trucks from stretches of
road during certain times -- in Germany, trucks can't drive on the roads on Sundays, midnight to
midnight -- but the EU human rights court and so on would be up in arms about the female part.
Rightly so, IMHO.
