Cevap

Class 2 invalid carriages match the 4 mph pavement restriction; Class 3 invalid carriages on carriageways match the 8 mph road allowance; Class 3 invalid carriages on dual carriageways over 50 mph match the mandatory flashing amber beacon; and motorways match total prohibition for all invalid carriages.
Under the Highway Code (Rules 36 to 46), Class 2 invalid carriages have a top speed of 4 mph and are for pavement use. Class 3 invalid carriages can travel at up to 8 mph on roads and must travel with the flow of traffic. On dual carriageways with speed limits above 50 mph, Class 3 invalid carriages must use a flashing amber beacon. Invalid carriages are strictly prohibited on motorways.
