For miners, lorry drivers were in the same category as the strike breakers and the companies involved had also chosen sides against the miners, all for the sake of money. The arrival of the lorries was therefore among those moments in a day when adrenaline would rush, as fear, anger and resentment built to a climax with speeding lorries delivering supplies past large numbers of picketing miners. Fear of death under the wheels of a lorry and anger at exposure to this, seems to be a particular feature of this Strike.
