Three out of four HGV drivers broke the 80km/h speed limit on roads where the general speed limit was 100km/h, a study found.
A 2021 observational study found that 75 per cent of Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers exceeded the speed limit on 100km/h roads, where the speed limit for HGVs is 80km/h
Almost 30 per cent exceeded the speed limit on motorways, where the speed limit for HGVs is 90km/h.
A study of mobile device usage by drivers of various vehicle types, conducted in 2022, found that 9 per cent of HGV drivers observed were using their mobile phone while driving.
