Think I’m able to work the limits out for myself :wink: . not really looking to know anything in particular, but will be heading from cairnryan down to Yorkshire is there maybe anything I should be especially aware of?

Yorkshire men will want your money.

Yorkshire women will want your body.

It’s bloody hard to tell the difference.

:slight_smile:

I’ll help you with the limits

It’s 60 mph as long as you can get away with it. Faster of you have the horses

Good luck in your first trip fella

Who you driving for?

Who you on for mate?

Nice first time route for you that but as said watch those speed limits. Plenty of A and duel sections to get caught on so keep her steady.

I know what you mean I was given a rigid lorry recently that was biggest I think they could find. When the artic drivers were saying “good luck turning that son” I knew I was in for a fun first day. After driving it for a week I can say an artic is definitely easier turned :open_mouth:
