 hi all do everyone know what the proper speed limits are for car and hgv's so here goes

Motorway  is it 70 mph or 80 mph for cars

Motorway is it 70 mph or 60 mph for lorries

duel carrigeways 70 mph or 60 mph for cars

duel carrige ways 60 mph or 50 mph for lorries

single roads  is it 70 mph or 60 mph for cars

single carrige ways 60 mph or 40 mph for lorries.

I will pm you with the correct answer to each one if you cant get it right these are the correct speed limits for the uk but why do people get in their cars and think it dont apply to them I personally think if you are caught them a max fine of £1000 and banned for 12 mths then if you want to break the law then you should pay the price if you get caught

Wireless:
Motorway 70mph for cars, LGV's 60mph, but are speed limited to 56mph anyway
Dual Carriage-ways 70mph for cars, LGV's 50mph
Single Carriage-ways 60mph for cars, LGV's 40mph

Ok, this is a difficult one, what are the speed limits on the same type of roads for non-emergency journeys made by an Ambulance?  I'm not referring to Service Operational Instructions, just the Law.

Anyone?

strapping young lad:
rule 124

iirc duel carrigeways 70 mph or 60 mph for cars. Most duel carrigewys are 60mph but some with hard shoulder and centre barriers are 70mph. so both could apply.
Just to add to the quiz if you don't mind.
Have a think and tell me what is the "fast lane" on a motorway ?
