As most HGVs are driven on the limiter (90kph/56mph) on dual carriageway there is no increase in speed
As for the 10mph increase from 40 to 50mph on national speed limit single carriageways, it is a lomg overdue measure and the Police States of Lincolnshire and North Wales will have to look elsewhere for their victims.
