Description
One of the many hazards on the roads of Britain that the long-suffering lorry driver had to face was the dreaded Ministry of Transport�s roadside inspections at check points set up at random in lay-byes on trunk roads.
PLEASE BE FREE TO COMMENT ON THIS WORK.
Once stopped the men from the Ministry would go over the victim�s vehicle with a fine tooth comb looking for overloading,bald tyres, faulty lights, smokey engines etc. the list is endless and many a lorry was immediately taken off the road for being in a dangerous condition.
Here a Leyland artic of Smiths of Eccles is directed by a policeman into the waiting arms of the Ministry men, what his fate will be we don�t know but you can bet they�ll find something if only it�s a frayed rope!
The original of this painting was in oils on a 20″�30″ board. You can commission your own original oil painting from Mike of your favourite vehicle from �2000.
