HGV warning

[Dead Eye]

I can't see how blanket increase the speed for all trucks would help with that... they will also just crawl past each other as per usual but at a jointly faster pace

sinto is also right as realistically a lot of people exceed the speed limits. Realistically I still think its a good idea and there have been some good studies showing how increasing the speed limits on certain roads has reduced accidents. The biggest factor I do still think is the disparity between vehicle speeds. By reducing that, traffic can slow more evenly and it's easier to merge in to lanes for overtaking etc.

It drives me absolutely insane when muppets try to join a motorway at 30mph because they are scared and think that going slower is safer. NO. Just no. Floor it up the slip road to a good 60-70 so that you can merge with ease. Worst case scenario, the majority of us can stop much quicker than we can accelerate plus there is a hard shoulder...
