I'd hope not. Lorries in the UK are restricted to 58 mph.

I thought the legal limit on motorways for HGV was 60mph, but
they're limited by EU regulations to 90kph=56mph ?

EU regulations ARE a legal limit. Until we leave the EU.

An LGV doing 60mph on a motorway or on a dual carriageway in England
and Wales is in breach of the construction and use regulations, which
cover the speed limiter, but is not exceeding the speed limit.

Its still a legal limit

It is a legally required speed limiter setting, which is not the same as
a legal speed limit. As I said, an LGV driver doing 60mph on a motorway
can't be charged with exceeding the speed limit.

Did I ever suggest that he could?
