WE'VE HAD FAXES and letters pouring in to support our "Pushing 50" campaign, and now have hundreds of replies from people who'd like the speed limit for trucks to be raised to 50mph on appropriate single-carriageway A-roads.
CommercialMotorEditorAndy Salter has sent letters explaining the need for a change in speed limits to a wide variety of people and organisations.
Those targeted include government transport ministers, and their counter parts from the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, as well as members of the Transport Select Committee. We've also written to organisations including the RAC Foundation, the AA Motoring Trust, Brake, RoSPA and Roadpeace, as well as the FTA and RHA.
Were still keen to get more replies from CM readers. If you haven't added your name to the "Pushing 50" campaign yet, there's still time —you can find the forms in any of the last few copies of CM.
