The on-going story about the contentious proposal to reduce the permissible limit for freight vehicles’ rear axle masses (to be dropped from 9-tonnes/ four-wheel rear axle to 8-tonnes) continued last week, as the department of transport announced an extension of the current deadline for replies. A DoT statement said: “Kindly be advised that the closing date for submission of input and comments is hereby extended to November 23, 2009.” This allows all chagrined stakeholders an extra two and a half weeks of thinking time from the original closing date of November 6.
