Re: Opinions on hgv's being limited to 56mph

its not just hgvs overtaking hgvs, there are plenty stupid car drivers that like to drive at 55mph on the motorway and hold you up, pull out infront of you because they think your going slow.if all vehicles were restricted to 70mph then that would be the problem with everyone then hanging in middle ...
