A heavy goods vehicle driver fears he will be unable to work for the next six months as he waits on the results of a medical investigation.
Barry Warrener has driven HGVs for 36 years but told the ECHO he fears he will have to resort to using his savings for the next six months. Mr Warrener must pass a medical before returning to the wheel and he claimed the situation is "putting drivers out on the street".
The 57-year-old from Bootle said he knows countless drivers who have decided to step away from the industry because of the lengths some have to go to when renewing their licences. He added he feels he now needs to speak up about the working conditions he says he and some colleagues are facing.
