http://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/new-vehicles/x/x5/2013/technicaldata.html so if auto express is correct then why isn't the x5 restricted? As it shows a maximum weight of 2750 kg..

The whole system is a joke I I knew how to start said petition I would.

You could try a pm here memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7328 He is good at starting petitions but his success rate is zero

single 50mph
dual 60 mph
motorway 70 mph

Don't get confused with those duals though,
Just cause it has two lanes doesn't always mean it's a dual carriageway.
It's only classed as a dual carriageway if it has a barrier or grass verge between the opposite lanes.

What gets me is most of Europe is up to 3.5t your all the same! regardless of vehicle type even up to 130k/h (~85mph)

Not true!, the stocksbridge bypass had the refund 1000s if not 100s of 1000s of tickets because it is partly a dual carriageway with a 70 limit and no central reservations, signs were national speed limit, and tickles were for over 60mph .

All the sh@t laws the U.K. has taken from the EEC this is one we needed to do.but if you look at a lot of U.K. motoring laws they are to complicated to many exceptions in them they need overhauling when hgvs whent up to 50 mph vans should have gone up to 60 and 70 mph at the same time
