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.

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


I wholly endorse that! Go with the flow, but leave space. Folk who
travel at 40 mph in a car on the motorway cause havoc, are inconsiderate
to HGVs and seem to have no appreciation of the dangers to which they
put all other users of the motorway. There does not seem to have been
any purge to advise and/or prosecute such inconsiderate drivers.
