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.


There is requirement for a vehicle to do more than 25 mph or it isn't
allowed on the motorway.

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.


So you can see a flashing light but not a car?
