towing a chipper in third lane of motorway

[MATTMOSS]

you can tow in 3rd lane if its an A road but remember its only 50mph on an A road as well

60mph on a M road

you can tow in the outside lane on a M road if its less than 3 lanes

I thought it was 60 for a car/van with a trailer on a dual carriageway A road? 50mph over 3.5tons?

I have not done my trailer test but knew you cant tow in the BMW lane I got a highway code a few years ago and took the trouble to read it and was amazed how much I did not know well worth doing. All I have to do now is work out how to use traffic lights with shades on that your not supposed to be able to see but still can.

I think its any commercial vehicle unless its car derived 50mph duals 60 motorways. So vitos and small transits are 50 mph on dual carrige way even when solo.

I stand corrected on the 50mph bit on dual carriage ways I've been driving for 35 years and it must have been 50mph at some time and i didn't realize it had changed how bad is that

any way we can get there a bit quicker now

thanks for that charles

M road 70

 

Van/commercial under 3.5ton

Over 3.5 ton vehicle

Unfortunate but rules are rules.

Patience is a virtue.
