All traffic on the roads can impede the other traffic. Cars impede cars more than lorries do , by the fact there are more of them.
True, there are more cars registered in UK than other vehicles - by about four to one I think.
But it isn't just about numbers. It's about road use. As I'm sure you must know, transport companies need to keep their vehicles busy so their road use is probably greater than many private cars.

I'd prefer something that was guaranteed to get me home before midnight.......I don't want to turn into a frog.
