  I am singularly confused by these speed limits. 7.5 tonne can do 60/70 yet they have to be fitted with a limiter restricting them to 56 and yet over 7.5 tonnes cvan do 60??

    you have to appreciate that uk speed limits apply within the uk but some vehicles are fitted with speed limiters under EU Regulations. Therefore, a vehicle fitted with a speed limiter may be restricted to 56mph under the EU regs but the actual UK speed limit is still 60mph and as such technically the driver doing 60 cannot be prosecuted for speeding (UK Speed Limits) but may be contravening EU Limiter regulations.

  Hi Please can you clear up some confusion. What is the speed limit for a 3.5t on a single carriage way? Many Thanks Mark

  Your speed limits for HGV (LGV) over 7.5t is wrong, it is nor 50mph (80kph) on a single carriageway

  The table doesn't make any reference to the HGV speed limit in Scotland / NI nor the A9 Perth - Inverness exception!

  So a Citroen Nemo, with a laiden weight of 900kg in front and 950kgs in the back can do 70mph, as it is under the 2 tonne bracket, am i right in thinking this
