Always been 80 towing. At least the linit has increased for Mh under 3,5 T on mways as it used to be 100 but has gone down to the same as vans & trucks for over 3,5t.

Clearly speed limits do not apply to Spanish HGVs . Returned last week !

I wonder how vigilant the Spanish will be with chasing 2 axle Mh's in the 3.5-4.5tonne category, given the Spanish approach to speed limits anyway.

Speed limit or not it doesn't seem to bother some trucks. I was driving down the A7 at a steady 70mph and we were blasted off the road by an artic who was doing over 90-100mph more like, what a sidedraft he gave us. he disappeared into the distance. It was 31/12/18 so he wanted home for new year no doubt... Spanish artics ALL seem to do a bit more than the others in the EU but this one was completely unrestricted with a cutout switch for the governnor and tacho in the cab no doubt.

I think you meant to say it has increased to 120 for under 3.5t on motorways but over 3.5t reduced to 90.

I'm tired of having attics sat on my arse at 60, 65 mph over here they obviously aren't restricted like UK

I noticed when traveling through France the French lorrys do a few kph over the limit but Spainish ones are way over I wonder if they disable their limiters.

I did ,I just phrased it badly. Even when I re-read it.

They must do something as I have my cruise control set at 62 -65mph usually so it's enough to pass them but stay at a decent cruise speed. I often have lorries right on my ass at that speed. I thought they were limited to 56mph
