Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается. А теперь о переговорах стран Общего рынка. Мистер Джеффри Риппон, ответственный за проведение переговоров, прошлой ночью вылетел в Брюссель. Предполагается, что целью его поездки является попытка уменьшить разногласия между нашей страной и Европейским Экономическим Сообществом по поводу доли Британии в бюджете Сообщества.

Вдобавок, заявляет Союз, в брошюре не упоминаются продукты садоводства, которые составляют важную часть Британского сельского хозяйства, и в случае присоединения к Общему рынку, ему будет нанесет большой урон. Официальные лица говорят, что с их точки зрения, авторы брошюры склонны преувеличивать преимущества присоединения к ЕЭС и не принимают в расчет множество настоящих трудностей.
