WITH reference to W Horlick’s letter (Oxford Mail, June 10), I was driving in the inside lane, not the outer.

The outside lane was relatively clear, offering lorries the opportunity to overtake.

As to the fitting and continual testing of limiters, which he claims, he still fails to answer how those lorries maintain 70mph if limited, as he claims to 56mph.

I have no wish to state a claim to a role carried out by the police, and fully recognise who is responsible for maintaining the law.

What I don’t expect, and refuse to accept, though, is the right for lorry drivers to believe they can bully their way through.

And his comment referring to their weight, and the belief that this gives them a God-given right to drive as they please, is well out of order.

I spent most of my working life in the motor industry and know the maximum limit allowed for a speedometer is three per cent over 30mph and nothing below.

This is why most police vehicles have two, the standard fit and a calibrated speedometer.
