Legally the height marker should be set to no less than the highest part of the vehicle and no more than 25mm more than the highest part of the vehicle, I doubt the DVSA would be too pedantic about the 25mm but given all the bridge strikes we keep hearing about I imagine they would not hesitate to give out the £50 fixed penalty fine for anyone who’s vehicle height marker is obviously set much lower than the vehicle height.I thought you could set the height marker as high as you liked over the real height but it only becomes illegal if you then pass under a bridge which is lower than the height that your marker is set to if you know what I mean.
According to the construction and use regulations the limit is 25mm above the vehicle height but I’ve just read on another site that the limit is 150mm above the vehicle height, I suppose it’s possible that the construction and use regulations have been amended but it would usually say so on the legislation site.
I’ll see if I can find anything later.
