Realistically these have a limited market, the weight has to be the same even though its bigger, it is good for carrying voluminous light stuff in large quantities and if it carries twice as much stuff like that it saves one journey in a normal truck, to be honest I would rather have less bigger ones on the road and just keep the f*ck away from them.
I should imagine it would need some additional training, I marvel at the skills of HGV drivers moving through town centres and find them better than average even if I have to surpress a scream on the A road I use when one overtakes.
We all need goods, truckers keep it moving, generally pretty safely compared to the average motorist, a lot of the incidents are due to cyclists making rash moves around HGV's, ok, sometimes its a HGV driver being an arse but not always, we cannot get them off the roads, it isnt going to happen, too many people buying too much stuff, we need education of all parties and decent segregation where it has been a problem and stiff penalties for anyone seen to be flouting the laws, before they kill someone, or before they inadvertently or rashly put themselves in danger.
