The Coalitions Road Minister Stephen Hammond is planning to raise the speed limit for HGVs, which he claims will reduce congestion and would boost businesses by more than £30m a year.
Presumably the increased fuel the 280,000 HGVs [vehicles over 7.5t] would use travelling faster, would benefit the oil company’s revenues by £30m per year.
The speed limit for larger lorries could be increased, ministers say.
