Reason behind fuel shortage in UK
There is a shortage of more than one lakh truck drivers in the country, which has disrupted the supply of petrol along with other things. England's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) is considered to be a major reason for the shortage of lorry drivers as after Brexit, most European drivers had left England to work elsewhere.
