<p>We are aware that the custom and practice for some 4 axle rigid volumetric concrete
mixers in recent years has been to operate in excess of the 32 tonne weight limit
specified in regulations. A consultation earlier this year about the scope of exemptions
from annual roadworthiness testing for some types of Heavy Goods Vehicles sought views
about whether a higher weight limit could be set for such vehicles to avoid dislocation
in the market. We have the responses to the consultation now and are considering this
issue.</p><p> </p>
