Hi,
Does anyone know if the rule preventing 140mph running in the UK without in cab signalling is a unique UK rule?
I presume there’s no EU regulation on this and thus it’s a UK rule. If it’s a UK rule, is the UK unique in this or do other countries run above 125mph without in-cab signalling? If so, I presume those countries don’t have safety issues, so why the difference in the UK?
I thought tests in the 80s with a flashing green signal had made 140mph possible till H&S said no.
Thanks
