Anger spills over as lines of vehicles form at UK petrol stations for a third day running, with a lack of truck drivers causing transport problems.

Thousands of British petrol stations ran dry on Sunday , as motorists scrambled to fill up amid a supply disruption due to a nationwide shortage of truck drivers.

Transport minister Grant Shapps had earlier appealed for calm, saying the shortages were purely caused by panic buying, and that the situation would eventually resolve itself because fuel could not be stockpiled. Several countries, including the United States and Germany, also are experiencing a shortage of truck drivers.
