You mean I'm supposed to actually read them?
There are no regulations anymore.
I haven't been issued with the latest South amendments yet.
I'm not qualified for the North. I do have the amendments though. It
would be nice if they'd say when they introduce something new, to draw
our attention to it (although in the main it applies to Yards & Station
staff more than Drivers).
Anyway the B2 limit is 900 metres. Good to see they can't be consistent
though, a heap of trucks with no brake type nominated.
