The frustration of endless miles at 40 causes more idiots on the road.
Trust me as a frequent HGV driver for 10+ years, this is not a good idea. Especially since they now let you take your HGV test at 18!

50mph +(upto) 44t + 18yrs old + 0 experience = 100% disaster. And of course not all A roads are the same.

80mph on the motorway is good though, if you ever get out of the 50mph, average speed checked roadworks that is
