I was looking for this, as I was pretty sure that as you went above 2tn there was an exponential rate of damage.
Happy to be proved wrong on this though.
While the vast majority of HGVs aren't proving some sort of life changing humaniarian service, they are usually doing something that has a wider societal benefit and requires a larger weight.

They’re also only allowed to use certain roads due to their weight and don’t have some some stressed-out, raging middle-aged asshole behind the wheel trying to prove they can do 0-60 in 4 seconds all the time.

This is an illustration to neatly show how not that big an increase in weight gives a disproportionate amount of damage. Obviously, as you say, HGVs will be magnitudes worse than this
