thought lorry's were limited to 56 mph?
and coaches to 60 mph?
but connect is very much deffinitly a 70mph on the motorway, as is the transit, and are the sprinters etc

this makes matters even more confusing as it doens't actually tell you what the limits are

They are Dojj, but as I'm sure I wrote before, speed limit is 60.
If they do 57 downhill not breaking the law...
Think coaches limiters are set to 62?
Winds me up that, fuck knows how much a fully laden coach weighs, then there's up to 100 people on board; yet is allowed to fly past similar weight lorries with one or two blokes on.
I know the argument/reasoning why, but come on shitloads of people on those coaches if it crashed.

heres an interesting fact
ALL transits are speed limiter exempt
whatever the weight
doesnt mean they can do 70mph, but they dont have to be limited
there are a few types of vehicle like this, emmisions reasons aparently
