HGV warning

[ChristoT]

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!

Because the EU are dicks, and we'd be better rid of them (the political union, at least. The EC made sense, the EU was foist upon us).
