meanwhile the DfT is angling to increase the speed limit of HGVs on single carriage roads from 40mph to... something faster, not quite sure what yet. The reasoning being some horseshit about 'people speeding up to overtake slow lorries thereby creating danger' and 'most HGVs break the speed limit anyway so, why the fuck not, lol!'
