The law is set to be changed to allow car drivers to drive lorries without taking a test in a bid to help ease the UK's HGV driver shortage.
Some shops suffered item shortages in the last year after a lack of drivers slowed down the transport of goods. Petrol stations also suffered at the hands of the HGV driver shortages, reported Glasgow Live.
But now Transport Secretary Grant Shapps will open a consultation on whether to lift the ban on motorists driving anything larger than a 3.5-ton vehicle in order to solve driver shortages. It has been reported that motorists could be allowed to drive a lorry without sitting a test in order to help the crisis.
