It’s 100mph isn’t it? :wink:

I would have thought that even a particularly dim thicko would have realised that that bridge would not support a fully loaded artic, the fact she did not understand weight limits or height restrictions seems to put her into a league of moronic behaviour all of her own …

Just been me sums on cheapo mobile… 19.1… ton ( payload ) Not going that specsavers or agency quip. It’s worn out :smiley:

of course in america their tons only weigh 2000lb (909kg) so for the driver the conversion couldn’t have been simpler, 43,000lb = 21½ton.

I was just looking up max vehicle weights in the USA, it seems to be 80,000lb (just over 36 tonne) quite a bit less than I presumed.
