No reason to raise HGV limit

IT is refreshing to read of lorry drivers' concerns over road safety ("Lorry drivers to stage go-slow", The Herald, December 4).

And of course HGV driver Conor McKenna is right to point out that "a lot of the public don't seem to know that we are restricted to 40mph". Many motorists maybe think it is at least 60mph, judging by the amount of tailgating and flashing by HGV drivers if we attempt to drive at 50, even in winter conditions.
