Private HGV, does not change speed limits. My 1986 man is limiter exempt, and can use outside lane, not that it ever does, I need to get home in it, so its treated kindly.

I never experienced a speed limiter as the only one I had was in a 10 tonne horsebox previously owned by a very famous showjumper. The limiter did not work and when asked every time it went for a test I said it did and they admitted they had no way of testing it. The tacho was not calibrated as it was not obligatory for private use in those days so there were no tacho records to prove otherwise.

Truck 56 limiter is down to our European friends

It actually 90 kph. Equals 56 ish

Uk road limit is 60 for dual roads

My truck has no limiter pi55,s truck drivers off when I overtake them in the outside Lane.

When I bought my Iveco, the age (and lack of limiter) were important buying considerations! Sits perfect at 60/65k, as you say just enough to glide past the big trucks!

Also Tacho exempt, but don’t forget that it still needs to be in calibration...

I have the chance of a 1992 Iveco 7.5 tonner. Would that be tachometer exempt even though there is one fitted?

I think you mean "tachograph"
Registered as private HGV , yes. And if you have to do a clutch or break any of the seals, no requirement for there to be a reseal.

One calibration sticker, no matter how old qualifies.

Thanks Harry

Wrong....done every 6 years.

Not necessarily true, some inspectors would pick up its been tampered with and rail you. As I said previous, needs to be in calibration, which lasts for 6 years.

Well, I was told this by an inspector after I explained why I was a little late for my appointment due to the thing being in the workshop next door for a reseal. LS services in Bristol also informed me as to the requirement of only one calibration if used privately, otherwise every six years, again just after they had calibrated it!

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

yes it needs calibrated once and needs a sticker to say so,
if on private use and taco exempt then no not needed to be in date
as for being in date it is not needed as it is just a speedometer and nothing else, just the same as a private car,
can even have seals broken when doing a clutch etc, still not needed to be sealed or in date
