My experience is that English trucks without limiters travel a lot faster than us Irish trucks.
I think youāll find that no English driving trucker would agree with that statement.
I have been overtaken by quite a few.
Nope, just canāt see it myself. ![:laughing: :laughing:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/laughing.png?v=12)
They are mostly at night, usually after 9pm, and more often than not, large parcel companies.
Yes, I can relate to that bit. TNT & Parcelline seem happy to tram round very close to 60mph. In fact APC (Alternative Parcel Co.
) donāt seem to bother with limiters at all I have noticed.
Some Scottish Fridge companies also donāt have limiters, and travel foot to the board.
This is true. I canāt disagree there.
Even around Preston, there are quite a few tippers travelling at speeds over 70mph, which are mostly clapped out 10 year old Seddons.
Mal, what have I told youā¦ ![:smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/smiling_imp.png?v=12)
At least the vast majority of Irish trucks are well maintained modern trucks.
Can give you that.
Plus, a huge amount of English drivers commit an offence several times per day, by allowing their vehicles to roll faster down hill.
And the IRL/NI regād drivers donāt do this of course because theyāre already doing 70mphā¦
This is seen as over riding the speed limiter, and is illegal. In a recent weighbridge check at Stafford, the only fault they found on my rig was the limiter, but there was barely room to move around with all the illegal English trucks they had parked up! Not another Irish truck in sight.
No, because the Cops in their Volvo T5ās are still trying to catch up with the [zb]ers
