Yea they hung that out a bit All us UK trucks are regulated by euro rules which includes limiters set at 56mph despite the limit on motorways being 60 for trucks. Some are set at 54 others 55 etc which leads to this stacking problem .. but not for 3.5 hours

No speed limiter if you stick a magnet on the gearbox speed sender unit, I've always got home for dinner on time

True dat ... hard enough in a car sometimes I dont know why they dont set them all to 60 cos LGV are allowed 60 on Mways ?

EU

i believe it to be due to the EU limit being 90 K,s ,so that equates to 56 mph , so if set to 60 mph would be illegal in other EU countries

you could do the worn tyre trick and have your tacho calibrated , or ask nicely at the garage , most of ours are just under 60

Reminds me of the situation where I had to replate a trailer because the lad towing it 'could' overload it with the plate that was on it for his towing vehicle.. I dont really get this 'might' and 'if' scenario When I called Ifor Williams they never even quibbled and sent me new one for it 250kgs lower ?
