Default Totally OT - Highway Question - Is 100 Metres Enough

Its more than the legal minimum


What legal minimum, references please?

I've yet to see any signage that there is a minimum limit on entering a
motorway or the end of a minimum limit when leaving. Indeed minimum speed
limits are very rare in the UK.

and large vehicles on motorways do less than that at times.


Not very often, these days most wagons sit at 56mph on the limiter no
matter the gradient. Other large vehicles, mobile cranes etc, have
flashing orange beacons and/or an escort.

I take it you don't see them when you drive on the motorways..


No, at least not wagons or large vehicles without beacons. The dangerous
ones are ordinary cars doing 40mph.
