In January this year, the United Kingdom concluded the so-called Brexit, that is, its withdrawal from the bloc known as the European Union. After years of negotiations, countries such as England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales once again have their own rules, such as the issue of immigration.

As a result, it is estimated that there are now 100,000 drivers in the UK, where 90% of cargo is transported by road. The British government has taken some punctual measures to address the problems. The validity of thousands of temporary work visas for foreigners looking to work in the UK has been extended in the first months of next year.
