Mark, do you honestly believe a fully loaded dump truck can safely stop and turn as well as a typical car? If you answered no, then why do you think the speed limits should be the same for both? Speed limits are set for the worst case scenario. Police know that as well. I imagine they'd ignore someone driving a Honda Accord at 9 MPH over the limit on a 40 MPH back road, but a dump truck doing the same would probably get a ticket.
