Artist's 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.
About Mike Jeffries
COMMISSION A PAINTING FROM MIKE. It is with great regret that I have to inform you that Mike sadly passed away November 2020 aged 81, but I, (his partner) will keep his shop here going and am happy to reply to any emails you might send to his own email address at mike@transportartist.co.uk. Virtually nobody considered the humble lorry worthy of the subject of a painting until Mike made it so. Years of being at the sharp end of long distance HGV driving has given him an insight and knowledge into the industry that enables Mike to depict lorries as they really were in the past and not the idealized view of the less knowledgeable making him the man to paint an original of your favourite commercial vehicle. He is without a doubt THE lorry...
