50 mph on Single Carriageways

Anything further about upping the LGV National Speed Limit for Single Carriageways from 40 mph to 50 mph in England & Wales?

Limiter will still be set to 54mph though.

The 50 on singles will make a huge difference to us here in Cornwall, fewer asshats in cars coming past in frustration.

Nope, the limit on the motorway is 60 but the legal limit for trucks remains at 56

Your not the only one, they do my bloody nut in just now

The Supermarkets will speed up, The uproar it'll cause if they cause the bottleneck will be huge, They bend over backwards to get every last customer,

Supermarkets are all about PR, They cant be seen to be speeding currently... which is why they dont but at the same time they cant be seen to be causing the queue

time saving? increase of the speed limit on SC to 50 from 40 might, if you are lucky, translate into about 2mph increase in overall average speed, unless you are diving on a very long, straight, junction, bend and traffic free road. So maybe 15 minutes over couple of hundred miles, reality probably less than this. take a realistic look at what average speeds are achieved on your runs, it is surprising how low it is.

Safe and smooth progress, giving yourself more space to read the road and traffic will still be the quickest A to B rather than worry too much than the 50 limit, the increase just gives headroom to protect licence etc:-)

This will cause issues too, as most of the muppets don't realise that two lanes in either direction does not a dual carriageway make.

They have/had a weighing plate in the road. Obvious when you know what to look for but very rare.
