They both have the same speed limit, 1 @ 56 the other @ 65 its just that the numbers are back to front 
they should have had seats that lift up from the floor of a trailer, and be a multi purpose vehicle thereby giving a much better return load, so long as the driver can handle the bell ringing in his ears every 10 minutes.

Like many laws there is not always any logic to them. One that comes to mind is the banning of LGVâs and PCVâs from the outside lane of a motorway but no such ban exists on dual carriageways.Vehicles fitted with a speed limiter and/or towing vehicles are only restricted from the outside lane of a motorway when it is three or more lanes wide.
That is my point, on a three lane dc they can use all three lanes, on a three lane motorway they canât.
A 3 laned DUAL carrigewayâŚnow thats a cracker!

The word DUAL meaning 2 doesnât refer to the number of lanes, a dual carriageway can have one, two, three or more lanes in each direction.
A road is a dual carriageway if oncoming traffic is separated by a barrier or verge etc.

Its to do with passenger perception, if the passenger thought they were going to travel on a vehicle thatâs slower than a lorry they wouldnât bother , Iâm sure itâs been discussed on here before âŚVery true. The safest solutions are not always the most desirable for fare paying passengers. If it was then all seats in Buses, Coaches and Aircraft for passengers would face the rear. Military passenger type aircraft seats usually face the rear but civil passengers would complain.
The only military passenger type aircraft I ever flew on with reverse facing seats was a vc10. Every other flight was forward or sideways(herc)
Itâs a myth that speed limiters were introduced for âsafetyâ reasons, although even traffic commissioners believe it.
If you read the legislation you will see that its primary purpose is to reduce pollution and fuel consumption. In fact, UK goods vehicle driver casualties increased slightly after speed limiters became compulsory.
If coaches were slowed down too much then more people would travel by carâŚincreasing fuel consumption and pollution.

It is a sad reflection on the quality of drivers if they donât know the correct description of a road.

Then we bought American passenger jets with forward facing seats otherwise the yanks would be confused and think they were flying backwards and try to jump out.

Good point about the seating, when was the last time a plane reversed into anything
Ryanair managed that one with 2 of there planes the other week

Hahahahahaha Albion, let that be a lesson to all the other condescending know it all â â â â on here.
Whatâs the saying lads?.. Oh yes âSilence is goldenâ
Well that worked well.Strange how I usually get no response but as soon as I say something a little controversial you lot get all excited.
What a bunch.
When I return from San Fransisco I will post something that may surprise you all!
No harm Albion, just a bit of lighthearted banter. We all know you were just testing us anyway
