ON THE BBC's Jeremy Vine Show (25 September), Lord Adonis, Secretary of State for Transport, was trying to score a few easy points by telling the nation about his whistle-stop tour of motorway service areas, and how good they generally are. When informed by a caller that they couldn't use lay-bys at night because they were always full of lorries. Lord Adonis agreed this was unacceptable and then added that it was unnecessary because there was plenty of 'free' parking at motorway service areas He finished off by saying: "Fortunately, it is not a national problem."
So, there you have it. That's the answer, regardless of wherever you are, or what your tacho is saying, make for a motorway. Mike Davies Via email
