The local traffic authorities and every other person in some sort of authoritive position should perhaps consider the following relating to lorries and big "slow" vehicles travelling on roads, especially highways, during peak hour traffic.
From experience, I have seen and many people have spoken about this exact same issue, that ONE lorry on a highway can AFFECT up to 30 vehicles during peak hours. Just taking a simple fact into consideration; if a lorry pulls away from stand still position, compared to a small car, by the time the small car is shifting to second/third gear, the lorry has more than likely already shifted into 5th/6th gear, it just CANNOT get away quick enough, due to it's size.
Perhaps a road law should be investigated where lorries could be barred from major and minor highways during peak hour traffic in the mornings and afternoons. Peak hour traffic could be considered between 6 and 8 am, and in the afternoons between 4:30 and 6:30 pm.
Anyone can just imagine how the traffic would flow without having all these lorries in the peak hour timeslot. It would certainly be to any small car driver's advantage. IT JUST WOULD WORK.
