Can you make your readers aware of this consultation relating to the extension of HGVs by seven feet?

May I draw readers attention to the consultation to allow articulated HGVs to become 7 feet longer? The DfT wants everyone to participate in the consultation, which is at www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/open/2011-06/. The Dept seems to think this will not compromise safety, a thought upon which readers may have views.

Unfortunately we will be quite close to the closing date of 21 June before I can run this, but that might actually be a benefit and provoke more of a reaction.
