Double Drive Mania (The Willi Betz way is now a Rock And Roll normality)

Well I have just returned from a double drive that has lasted over two weeks and because of the new 45 hour weekly rest break for truck drivers, touring europe has changed! More and more tour trucks are double manned so costs go up and so does ticket prices and with the added cost of diesel the future looks grim! Driving out of Dover and heading up the hill to the M20 you would think you had arrived in a third world country with all the foriegn trucks parked by the side of the road and the litter and no toilet facilities the UK is certainly not a welcoming country for international or local haulage!
