Recutting tires on the steering axle of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) can improve traction and handling. However, it is essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and local regulations regarding tire retreading. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.

In England is it legal to smoke and drive?
It is illegal to smoke in most 'business use' vehicles such as company cars. But in private vehicles (and HGVs) it is not unlawful. That being said, any time you take your hand of the steering wheel to do anything that isn't directly related to driving, you could be considered to be 'driving without due care and attention'.
What are the types of gearboxs used on hgvs?
Specifics for European trucks, I'm not sure about, but universally, the manual shift transmissions will be unsynchronised, consisting of anywhere from 8 to 18 gears total, although synchronised gearboxes with just five, six, or seven gears are often seen on single axle straight trucks/rigids. There are also automatic transmissions available, as well.
What are semi trucks called in England?
Articulated lorries, or Heavy Goods Vehicles (although HGVs are a broader category than just articulated trucks).
What was the UK motorway speed limit in 2007?
The national speed limit for motorways has not changed since 2007 and remains 70mph unless otherwise signed. The restrictions on HGVs changed in April 2115, it used to be 50mph but is now 60mph.
Why are HGVs banned on weekends and public holidays in France and some other parts of Europe?
I believe that the reason is that weekends and holidays are times when more non-commercial vehicles are on the road, either as tourists or families, and the government wants the roads available for those travelrs.
What size engines do lorrys have?
11 - 16 litres. From what I've seen of HGVs in the EU and UK, company fleets seem to stay in the 12 - 13 litre displacement range, while owner/operators gravitate more to the 14 - 16 litre motors.

What fuse for the speed limiter 2006 Volvo FM 12?
The governor isn't a separate component - it's programmed in the Engine Control Module. If you remove power to the ECM, the whole thing shuts down. Furthermore, there are some countries in which HGVs by law must be governed at a certain speed. Since you mention the Volvo FM (which isn't sold on the US market), the likelihood of you being in such a country is considerable - thus, answering questions regarding how to turn up the speed controls on these vehicles could be providing a how-to on performing an illegal act, which is against this site's policy.

Can you jump start a diesel car from diesel car?
Jump starting is used when there is insufficient power in the vehicle to operate the starter motor.The power supply can be ANY compatible power supply, but the most common are:Another 12v car. Many HGVs are 24v, and some small bikes are 6v, and these would not be compatibleA 12v battery, either just a normal battery, or a specific jump start unit with built in leadsA 12v mains powered transformer with sufficient capacity. Most battery chargers cannot supply the required amps.The other alternative is to turn the engine over without the use of the starter motor. This is commonly done by turning the vehicle over by putting the car in gear while it is moving, and is normally called a 'bump start'Any means of getting the vehicle moving at around 5-10mph can be used, including pushing by hand or by a vehicle, a hill or towing.
How do you disable the speed limiter on a Volvo truck?
If it's not your truck to do this with, you have no business doing this, plain and simple. You want a fast truck? Go buy your own, pay for your own fuel, then see how fast you want to drive. If you're in the US, and you drive a company truck, this will get you fired, and put a big black mark on your DAC report which will do a lot to prevent you from finding future employment (employers don't like their equipment being tampered with). Especially if your vehicle has a Qualcomm or Volvo D-Link system. It will rat you out if you drive faster than the speed you're supposed to be governed at. Even if you don't have to contend with that, what happens when you get a ticket for speeding at a rate of speed higher than what you're supposed to be able to run? Well, the company will see this, and they'll have their mechanic plug his computer into the ECM to see what the setting are. Once they find out where those settings are, you can kiss your career goodbye. If you're in the US, and you own your own truck, you simply take it to the Volvo dealer (if you have a Cummins or Cat motor, any dealership or repair shop which can work on those motors will suffice), and have them reprogram the ECM settings. Pretty simple. For the rest of the world, many countries require their (trucks/lorries/HGVs/whatever you wish to call them) to be governed by law.

How much carbon emissions does the UK use per year?
None! Its called Petrol here, not gasoline! We use comparatively little to America, as our cars generally have smaller engines. I will attempt to make a rough estimate here for you but cant guarentee it will be anywhere near correct. Approximate number of cars in UK: 25 Million Average mileage per household: 7,000miles per year Average household cost of petrol: £20 per week Litres bought for £20: Aprroximately 20 Litres used per car per year: 1040 Litres of Petrol per year for 25 Million cars: 26,000,000,000 Litres per gallon: Roughly 4 (U.K gallons NOT U.S) Gallons of Petrol per year for 25 Million cars: 6,500,000,000 Of course this all assumes that every one of the 25Million cars in the UK is roadworthy and is used on a regular basis, which is not the case. All numbers are approximate and may be too high or too low; people all get different amounts of usage out of their vehicle, and bare in mind that some are permanantly off the road, in a scrap yard or not registered yet. Also, this does not take into consideration other types of vehicle, such as boats, agricultural and plant machinary, motorcycles/quad bikes, HGVs, military vehicles, off-road-only sports vehichles, and other types of Petrol usage such as starting bonfires and running generators, lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc, so you can probably treble the number above!
