Drivers who do not stick to the line, cause problems for themselves, all the other drivers as well as the traffic control personnel. Recently, a new by-pass was opened at the border crossing point. Drivers of small cars, trying to jump the queue between huge trucks, make the situation difficult, not least for themselves, when they find themselves squeezed between two trucks. The situation is very hectic, but Cpt Charalambos and his men have everything under control, and according to the captain this is a quiet day. Besides directing the traffic, the personnel from the Greek Force Support brigade at the border are also planning and scheduling the convoys, consisting of no less than 5 vehicles.
Every vehicle is registered with a number, so no one can jump the queue.
