A Lincoln-based haulage firm hopes a new "super-lorry" will cut costs and help save fuel.

Denby transport is thought to be the first company in the UK to use the 25m-long vehicle, which are banned on British roads but legal on the continent.

What do you think, are they too long for UK roads?

When I'm driving my modified Jeep that runs on 35 inch wheels, I am part of your domain, as it's uncomfortable and vibrate-y at much over 50mph. So it's slow lane for me, lorries overtaking, flashing you dudes back in, and lamp-flashing thanks back...makes me feel a little more professional and part of your world kinda thing!
You do that as well? cool

I don't often travel at a speeds where I can flash a passing lorry thats it safe to pull in, but its one of those litle things that, like you say makes you a bit more connected with other road users.
