It might be time for a concerted action including Vosa and the Police to make van drivers aware of the risk of unsecured loads, I will happily make time available to assist.

Let's hope the driver who lost the ladder gets given a minimum of 3 penalty points for insecure load, and the bill for the clear up operation.
