They aint allowed to use the outside lane of a motorway under normal conditions are they?
That is correct.
No. Not since about 1997.
Bugger, knew I should have taken a pic and sent it to the company HQ 
Got to be careful taking pics though - especially if its on a mobile phone and you were driving!
Even using a digital camera whilst driving can get you prosecuted.
Have seen a lot of coaches in outside lane of late ,i presumed there was a change in the law .Also are 7.5 tonners allowed out there?

some are, some aren’t !!
newer ones with speed limiters aren’t - older ones without limiters are

Only the fast ones which seem a bit silly really.
A coach which will be limited to 60 mph cannot use the outside lane and must fit in with us and a new 7.5 doing 56mph however an older 7.5 tonner with no limiter, no brains, no licence and no training can legally do 70mph in the outer lane. It seems a bit back to front to me.
You need to note their reg numbers and get posted up on here. 
That’ll really sort 'em out! 
Coming north on the M1 today in the road works down near Hemel a National Express coach was in the outside lane of the southbound that splits from the other 2 lanes & runs south on the northbound side. I believe its signed up at 6’ 6" width.

I sometimes drive a 7.5 tonner and i have brains and a licence and training.
There is a PROPOSAL in Government which was supposed to come into force on 1 Jan this year but has been postponed that is for ALL LGVs (including C1 - 7.5 tonners) & coaches to be legally limited (not necessarily physically limited) to 56mph and have the same restrictions on motorways.
Sadly, we are still waiting as I believe that this would help stop some of the frustrations.
