Fastest trucks on the road pass you at night that fast you [zb] yourself.
Run that ragged you need a truck that does 62 and you need to use the 3rd lane. All for not much more than minimum wage .
Stuart Nicol Transport based in Shotts I think .His motors look smart âŚSo is it just points and a fine ,or is it a more severe punishment with the Professional driver tag
Bloke at our place got the tin tack for this.
Was the M6 that busy at night he needed to use the 3rd lane â â ? At a guess he probably drives his car in the 3rd lane only ,even on an empty motorway âŚ
How do they get away with running at over 60mph on the motorway? I thought speed limiters are legally set to stop a truck accelerating beyond 56mph. I kind of guess that the speedometer on the truck must be showing 56 and the speed limiter must be fooled into thinking the truck is doing 56. But everyone knows their true speed is about 62. So how come the DVSA donât do anything about this illegal and unfair limiter fiddling? They too must know whatâs going on!

Del Boy I mean AndrewG will be along to tell how itâs done soon
deny everything as the tacho head is sealedâŚa quick gv9 and a recaliberation (preferrably on near bald tyres) then a quick jaunt down to co armagh bandit country with ÂŁ100 to have it reset back to 62,or 65 or whatever you wantâŚ(thats the norm over here anyway)âŚ

Plenty of money in Irish haulage then by the looks of that. I assume the people who enjoy that also like to hang âCowboys donât careâ light boards in there motors.
sure theres no money to be made in haulage at all at all at all
and all the cowboys care about is fat calves as you might have noticed wearing the white spray on denimsâŚ
the big question is thisâŚ
HOW MANY OF YOU PERVERTS PAUSED THE VIDEO AS THE TARTS WERE WAVING AT THE TRUCKS GOING PAST

We had a Daf CF at my old place that did 58 which is borderline legal. Used to be fun on a Friday night running empty down to Litchfield. Could be sat in lane 3 out of 4 going up the hill just past J28 passing everything.
A couple of years ago I had an MAN that did a true 55mph so about average really. I took it in for tacho calibration one day and was instructed to wait for it. When the guy had finished he brought it round to me and said âit was running a bit slow wasnât it?â I started to say no not really but didnât finish the sentence because I didnât really get what he was getting at. So off I go back to base bob tail, gets on the A1 and floored itâŚsat nav now saying 58mph [emoji1] Very few trucks came past me from that day on. I didnât stay there long after so didnât get to see how fast it went on new drive rubber but I bet it would have been pushing 60! My current stead flicks between 55 and 56 on the sat nav.
Thats everyday for the nicol boys.Nice to see the police officer standing at the white line to take the picture #Roadsafety
I was on the m1 this week in the middle east Lane at 56 next thing I nearly had my mirrors blown off with the speed of this Irish motor in the 3rd Lane and no way was he doing anything under 70 as speed cameraâs flashed him

SNT have always had a bit of a reputation up here âall flash no cashâ etc etc, and to be fair from what Iâve heard myself itâs probably true, but I donât know any of the drivers or their circumstances so it aint for me to criticize.
With regards to the outside lane , yeh it it is a bit naughty but again I cant criticize cos that would be a bit hypocritical now I know the whiter than white brigade on here will probably â â â â there pants but when your confronted with a couple of fannyâs elephant racing up an empty three lane motorway at 50 mph then for me it would be the 3rd lane with no hesitation.

Shotts is in Scotland. Time for a new sat nav?
Used to do it in the 80s, not now though even if I could (set at 53) and especially not for the wage I am on.
Yeh itâs wrong, itâs against the law, etc etc, and if the driver is on crap wages as alleged,.and he risks his licence for thisâŚheâs a grade A chump âŚend of, but what do I know, I donât even know him or his co.
However what I DO know is this is the job for the Police, well to âŚpolice, and for DVSA to punish them.
Nothing to do with you me, anyone else, and especially not a Road Vigilante fanny type, with a camera .
