On British roads, the maximum permitted length of a rigid goods vehicle is 14 metres (about 44 feet).
12 metres

12 metres
I thought that was the maximum length for driving tests.

FTA yearbook states 12m for all rigids; where did you get 14m from?
Under Construction and Use Regulations (Weights and Dimensions) the maximum length of a rigid vehicle is 12 m.
I hope it is only 12 metres,
anything bigger should bend

Only a minimum length of 8 metres for C test, MAM of at least 12 tonnes, but the max length limit for a rigid is 12 metres, or 39’ 4’’ in old money.

I may well be guilty of confusing this with something else that I read (can’t for the life of me remember what it was!).
Having said that, if you were allowed rigids 14m long, I wouldn’t mind the challenge of driving one!

The minimum length for a CE test vehicle is 14m, perhaps you were thinking of that

That probably explains that! Perhaps the reason for my confusion was this - training companies tend to use vehicles that are a realistic size these days as opposed to the minimum standard, and you just don’t get any debate about such and such a truck conforming to the required standards as you used to.
My old Tally wagon had a 9 m bed and a sleeper cab i guess 12m is about right
12m rigid plus 2m overhang on load providing correct markers are fitted. =14m
