So it’s obviously bad to have stuff chucked at you while driving, but 70mph on a single carriageway? Perhaps the reporter got a little carried away with the facts
Pity the lorry didn’t have front facing camera would have got registration
I thought someone had found a good supplier of Moroccan Black

It’s fairly…
Safe to say that Daily Mirror isn’t renowned for getting carried away with the facts.
Thats some great story telling right there, sorry I meant reporting!
Wonder what the back story is? there is always a back story no matter what people claim.

On past experience of the editorship of the DM, I would personally go with the latter!!"

So large goods vehicles go faster than heavy goods vehicles? I was under the impression they were the same thing. You learn something new every day.

HGV stands for Heavy Goods Vehicle and LGV stands for Large Goods Vehicle. … Confusion often comes about from the incorrect use of the term LGV, as some people think it stands for Light Goods Vehicles to drive pickup trucks and vans, with a gross vehicle weight of under 3500kg
LGV can mean Light Goods Vehicles according to some, but they also say you need a Class A licence to drive a lorry. I use a Class A licence to ride my motorcycle. 
I think this comes from an early taxation class. - PLG. Private Light Goods
