Why don't *you* tell them that their limiters are set at 62 mph? * First they will tell you you're a complete ****ing idiot, then they will laugh in your face. *That's because their limiters have been set to 56 mph since legislation came into force on 1 January 1994. UK lorries have **NEVER** had their speed limiters set to 62 mph. *You simply don't have the faintest idea, do you. * Nice constructive arguement, Bruce. I'll rephrase my original statement: The problem is that the centre lane on the motorway is "blocked" by lorries limited to 56mph and modern coaches limited to 62mph. That's strange, because lorries are restricted to 56 mph (90 km/h). Tell that to lorry drivers. Because they cruise at over 60mph. (I did NOT say that the law for lorry drivers is 62mph, that was your interpretation of what I said.) By your rules, if you drive a car at 60mph on the motorway no lorry should tailgate you or pass you as they are governed to 56mph. Of course I am an idiot for driving at 60mph. This is a BUS newsgroup, so don't expect posters to be experts on LORRY law. |
