So, as another lockdown comes into full force, the weight of online shopping rests on van drivers.
Builders and brickies keep on keeping on, while the BBC finds itself in hot water this week.
The issue?
Allegations of bias against car and van drivers, which may surprise absolutely none of you.
The cycle-friendly broadcaster has been accused by lobby group Fair Fuel UK of an anti-car and van bias.
The BBC often portrays the motorist as the cause of problems, says Fair Fuel UK.
Fair Fuel accuses the BBC of favoring the well-financed green environmental position.
Historically seen as the voice of neutrality, the BBC now faces increasing criticism for biased opinions.
These views are increasingly out of step with the average person on the street—or in their van.
The BBC seems to particularly target diesel drivers, despite many unable to afford newer electric vehicles.
Not everyone is on a state-funded BBC salary, after all.
The reality?
Not everyone can get around by bike, especially during winter.
The unused cycle lanes from the last lockdown prove this point, especially in winter snow and ice.
Chaos up and down the country is already building, with more to come in the weeks ahead.
We appreciate the work of Fair Fuel UK, standing up for British van drivers once again.
They face constant challenges while keeping the country moving, rain or shine.
Let’s not forget we’re here to help you, too.
Whether it’s a news story to brighten your week or saving on van insurance, every bit helps.
