-just as trailer tests came in, maybe a more thorough test is needed to tow a large trailer, I know everyone on here will disagree, but we are a crowded country with crowded roads
It is not the speed of the tractors or trailers that are the problem, it is the way they are driven. Some people think that if a tractor does 50k that means it should go that speed empty or laden and expect it to handle and corner the same if its 14 tonne up to 30 odd tonne for example.
