What nowadays is the maximum allowed width for a road vehicle in ordinary service, such as a refuse collection vehicle, a removals van, or a skip lorry? How much total width should be available for a qualified but not unusually talented driver in such a vehicle to reverse along, on the straight? -- (c) John Stockton, Surrey, UK. 拯merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05 MIME. Web http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/ - FAQish topics, acronyms, & links. The answer to the first half is readily available on the web. 2.55 metres excluding mirrors or 2.6 metres for a refrigerated vehicle. The second half will need an experienced lorry driver or instructor to answer. With a car there is always a risk the wheel being turned slightly when the driver turns to look over his shoulder. |
