Truckers clog freeway
Australian truckers clogged a commuter freeway yesterday in protest against rising fuel costs, as their union said drivers were risking lives by cutting maintenance and working longer hours to absorb the costs.
About 100 truckers staged a "go slow" convoy on the main freeway from Newcastle to Sydney, driving 90 kmh slower than the freeway limit.
