Seventeen Regional Rounds and a Final in Coventry
WITH notification of the dates for the VV Portsmouth round (July 7) and the Leeds round (July 22) the programme for the 1962 Lorry Driver of the Year competition is complete. There will be 17 -regional rounds this year, followed by the final at the Massey-Ferguson Works, Coventry, on Sunday, September 16. The Minister of Transport is expected to present the trophies.
As announced earlier this year, to provide more equitable terms of competition there have been drastic changes in vehicle classifications, with the result that those under about 11 tons unladen are banned, and the reorganization of the artic classes will eliminate some pole trailers and the "Queen Mary" type. Tankers, flats and vans will now be separated in the articulated vehicles section.
