LATEST figures show the number of foreign-registered heavy goods vehicles travelling to Great Britain has increased almost three-fold over the last 10 years.

During last year, they made about 1.4 million trips to Britain, with more than two-thirds (68%) on motorways. Most drivers spent only a short period of time in Britain, on average less than two days, with a sixth (16%) returning on the same day and four-fifths (83%) spending less than three days here.
