SIR - Thanks to the European Union and the British Government the danger to our lives has increased.

Special constables, volunteer ambulance drivers, TA drivers , retained fire fighters etc who drive full time for a living will no longer be able to drive for voluntary organisations if they receive any recompense since this will infringe the EU's working hours regulations.

Such organisations depend heavily on experienced professional drivers and will struggle to replace them.
