COMMENTS * UK - On longer, heavier super trucks
* The Times on Monday has sparked off a huge amount of press coverage and reaction to longer heavier trucks and most of it is bad, even though The Times supported the idea.* The Daily Mail was particularly harsh, which is surprising as they normally support industry. But it’s comment was “They are the supertankers of the highway. Huge lorries called LHVs - longer, heavier vehicles - could soon be thundering along Britain's roads if the haulage industry gets its way. But do we want them?”
* The Sun is believed to have opposed them but changed its mind after a journalist drove one. Sun writer Ken Gibson wrote: “But I reckon the super truck is well worth a spin. If I can drive one with relative ease, professional truckers would have no problem and the public have nothing to fear.” And there is a video of the Denby vehicle on the web site as well.
* The Guardian is predictable opposed saying “Let's have no truck with themThe government is considering trials of a new 'super-lorry'. But nothing could be more disastrous.”
