It less safe for one simple reason. In an accident the kinetic energy getting rear ended by 40t at 56mph has a very different outcome than by 2t at 70mph.
It is particularly difficult, if not impossible, to be rear ended by a 40t tuck at 56mph if you are travelling at 58mph.
Having said that, I was recently delayed by a rather nasty collision on the M23 between an HGV and an 8hp 1903 car.
