LONDON – Hundreds of trucks rolled into central London on Tuesday to jam a major route into the capital to protest the rising price of fuel.
Around 300 truck drivers honked their horns and parked on a highway on the edge of the city, forcing police to close off a section of road and divert hundreds of motorists during the busy morning rush hour.
“It's getting to a point of being ridiculous. We simply can't keep pace with the rising costs,” Peter Carroll, who owns a 51-truck hauling firm in Maidstone in southern England, told The Associated Press by telephone as he joined the protest in London.
Truckers say thousands of jobs in their industry are in jeopardy.
“Everybody is feeling the impact of the increased cost of living; it is not restricted to one sector,” said legislator Louise Ellman, head of the House of Commons Transport committee.
