    They are. Which is why I'm in search of facts rather than relying on my assumption.

    I suppose as they aren't allowed in lane 3 (talking 3 lane motorway here) but aren't limited to 56mph like HGV's then they probably are going to spend quite a bit of time in lane 2.


    That is probably the right answer. My minibus is limited to 62, so not allowed in the outside lane.

    They have been for a while, however many if not most are limited below that.

    Doesn't stop the stretch limos though.

    Most of the newer limos are required to be fitted with a 62mph speed limiter.

    They always have been. The speed limit is 60mph.


    But they're also required by law to have a 90kph/56mph limiter fitted, and have been for decades. So while they CAN travel at 60mph legally, they can't physically.

    Well it seems no-one actually knows the answer.

    If you want an answer phone National Express instead of asking people on an internet forum.
