ON THE ROAD

transmission by taking extra care.

MOTORWAY DRIVING
Speed Limits (UK)
If a speed limit is not in force, your
motorhome can be driven up to 70mph on
motorways and dual carriageways.
1. Reduce Speed:
i) In high or cross winds.
ii) Downhill.
iii) In poor visibility.
2. High sided vehicles cause air buffeting,
so extra care must be taken when
passing or being passed. As much space
as possible should be given.
Motorway Handling
Do not bump the kerb with the wheels.
When passing other vehicles allow more than
the normal clearance.
Allow longer to get up speed to pass.
Do not swing out suddenly.
Carry out all manoeuvres as smoothly as
possible.
Use nearside wing mirror to check
motorhome has cleared when overtaking.
