Mass appeal automatically sent to holders of pre-1999 German licences, which entitle holder to drive trucks
Thousands of Germans who live in the UK have been written to by the government asking them to drive lorries in an attempt to ease the UK fuel crisis, even though the majority have never been at the wheel of an HGV.
They were included in a 1m-letter mass mailing that also tried to recruit ambulance drivers to get behind the wheel of lorries.
