Your second statement suggests vehicle lengths on the public highway
that would be totally unacceptable.

From the Highway Code:-
"Take care where trams (which can be up to 60 metres [196ft] in length)
run along the road."
That sounds rather like official acceptance/anticipation of more than
two vehicles coupled together.


The Highway Code is available online at
http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/

I have spent a fair while looking through all the obvious places where
that statement might be but was unable to find this piece of
information. Could someone please say where in this electronic
document it can be found?

The revisionists appear to have been at work. It was in rule 236 in the
1996 edition (also in the NI equivalent which helpfully stated "Currently
applies to Great Britain only") but no longer appears in the replacement
rule 273.
