0ur transport correspondent, caroline davies reports. chicken, milkshakes, now petrol. a shortage of lorry drivers continues to bite across the uk, and as the problem grows, there is more pressure on the government to make changes. bp reported they were having trouble getting their petrol to some pumps. there is enough fuel, just not enough drivers to take it to the petrol stations. although the problem only affected a small number of sites, people worried that they could run out, began to buy more than they normally would, leading to huge queues, despite the government reassurances. now one firm, eg group, who run 400 petrol stations, have said they are limiting each customer to £30 of fuel, excluding hgv drivers and emergency services. there is plenty of fuel and the issue is obviously the lead time of getting it from terminal to forecourt, and we ask the motorist to be sensible, do not alter your refuelling patterns.
