London - Protesting lorry drivers yesterday created "horrendous" conditions on Britain's busiest road by crawling in convoy around the M25 London orbital route.
Huge 12-mile tailbacks built up as truckers slowed to just 15 m.p.h. in their protest against fuel and road tax rises.
The new Transport Minister, Ms Helen Liddell, condemned the demonstration but hauliers said they were fighting for their livelihoods.
