HGV warning

[sinto607276]

It is a EU ruling for speed limiters and is 90 Kph, which is near enough 56 mph. Operators can choose a lower limit for their truck if they wish but 60 mph setting for the limiter would be breaking the law.

So how come highway code and UK government say max speed for trucks is 60 on motorways and not 56?
It's not an EU ruling, it's a EU directive, meaning that's what they'd like the individual countries to aim for. It's much the same within my line of work, EU says one thing but UK law says another, I deliver dangerous goods and as long as we don't go outside of UK, we don't need to worry about the EU directives. It is a pain trying to remember all the foccin different rules though!
