Add to that list: "Existing lorry drivers to have a medical at the age of 45 and then every five years until the age of 65. After 65, the medical has to be done every year. " Most are done with GP’s, but they haven't been doing them for almost 2 years, and are still not doing many.

Also: Driver training and testing hasn't happened much for many, many months.
