When will we see some action on the ever growing menace of HGVs on our trunk roads?
The entirely bogus 'war on speed' needs to be replaced by an 'assault on trucks'. Virtually every accident/fatality on our motorways and major dual-carriageways involves (and is usually proved to be caused by) one or more HGVs.
Perhaps if the relevant Government Ministers were forced out of their 'blue-light-convoys' and had to spend a few days driving themselves in a modest family car along the A14 and M6, we'd see some action on the appalling standards of driving and (lack of) consideration for other road users displayed by far too many HGV drivers.
I know that there are, hopefully, more 'good' than 'bad' HGV drivers (although it doesn't seem like that some days) - but something needs to be done before entire sections of the major road network become 'no-go areas' for cars and motorbikes.
And don't just blame 'foreigners' - the worst examples are often in GB plated vehicles.
