For now, how long do you think it will be (IF this monstrosity is allowed) before they start trying to raise the limit to say 65 tonnes on the pretext that it wont take up any more road space, as it is already running, we are only increasing the weight and the axle weight will only be the same as a conventional 44 tonne truck, about 8 tonnes!
Looking at the way Denby are trying to force this one through, I guess they will overload it one day saying look it doesn't do any harm running it with 66 tonnes.
Anyone going around Lincolnshire on the rural roads will see what a state they are in, the 44tonnes that are already allowed can't be helping, they were just not designed for such large weights. When I was a lad it was pretty much only 20 tonne lorry's taking goods too and from farms, now they are at least 33tonne. The screwing of the axle around corners is ruining the corners, I wonder how this beast will treat them.
