...Channel Hops. In Britain, another group of engineers has formed Air-float Transport Ltd. to promote the "Airfloat HL" (for heavy-lift), designed by Surrey University Mechanical Engineer Edwin Mowforth. A VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) model, it could carry a load of up to 400 tons and move it more than 1,000 miles at about 90 m.p.h. Airfloat's hull shape is conventional, and its propulsion depends upon old-fashioned propellers turned by ten turbines. Eight of them are amidships for forward drive and are also capable of exerting a vertical thrust of 40 tons. There...

Thus a fourth and rather common option is to haul illegal loads and hope not to get caught. The trucker who goes, though, runs the risk of expensive fines...

To cope with the load, bureaucracies become fragmented and specialized, sometimes competing with one another, frequently smothering political initiatives. The whole immense mechanism of the central government grows so ponderous that it is virtually immune to necessary change...
