Putting on the 'Sunday best'

Your article 'Speed survey shock' (CM 10 April) raises a few issues. While the speed limit for HGVs on unlimited dual carriageways is 50mph, your article doesn't make it clear that, with any speed restriction in force, the national speed limit for vehicles more than 7.5 tonnes applies. Drivers should be aware that a 50 or bOmph speed limit on a dual carriageway means trucks should be travelling at 40mph.
In another piece ('A level playing field') in the same issue, you quote the Road Haulage Association's (RHA) chief executive, Roger King, as saying he doesn't know how Polish drivers get across Europe 'on bald tyres'. Anyone who has driven regularly from East to West knows the lay-bys near the borders are full of drivers putting on their 'best wellies' to get across Germany, where enforcement is better than in the UK. They revert back to their theapies' once they're through. Richard Jordan
