INTRODUCTION

1. BACK GROUND OF THE STUDY

Road transport is one of the oldest means of transportation.  Before the advent of other means of transportation like airplanes, ships etc road transport has been in existence.  This is because it has so many advantages when compared to other means of transport.  Even before motorcars were introduced, people were making use of camels and donkeys to carry themselves and their goods from one place to the other. Road transportation saves cost, and can penetrate into the interior areas where other means of transport cannot go.  Transportation feature very much in man’s daily activities as he works or does other activities in life.
