Legally.......Should this have an escort?

4yorks:
My understanding is that if the vehicle exceeds 25M in length then it needs a POLICE ■■■■■■.

Nope. I recall the joys of going across the A66 before the Temple Sowerby bypass over that lovely S bend bridge there and down the A75 with wind turbine masts and blades over 100ft long without any ■■■■■■.

The only police ■■■■■■ or in fact any ■■■■■■ at all we had from Hull docks to Buncrana in Eire was out of Hull to just past the Humber Bridge and then from the border at Londonderry through Buncrana. Other than that we were entirely on our own.
